Attendance Information:

If your child is absent please send in a note upon their return to school for the absence to be considered excused. You may also email our attendance email at jjisattendance@colchesterct.org

After nine absences (excused or un-excused) a doctors note is required for the absence to be considered excused.

Thanks you for your continued support.

Morning Drop Off Safety Reminder

For safety reasons, during morning drop-off please pull all the way forward before letting your child exit the vehicle. Do not stop along the sidewalk if there is space ahead of you to move forward.
Additionally, children must exit only from the passenger side of the vehicle, and parents should remain in their cars at all times.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and ensure a smooth drop-off process.

 

Recess Fun:

Winter weather and snow clean-up have definitely made recess a little more adventurous lately! But no matter what Mother Nature has in store, our Jackter students know how to make the most of it.
Indoors, students dive into creative building challenges and imaginative STEAM activities that spark curiosity, teamwork, and plenty of problem-solving fun. Board games bring out friendly competition, and cozy independent reading time offers a quiet moment to get lost in a good book.
When we head outside, it’s all about sledding, snow fun and lots of laughter.
Whether inside or out, one thing is certain, Jackter students are having a blast and making wonderful winter memories together!
