Parking and Student Drop Off & Pickup

Traffic is heavy both before and after school. To ease crowding on 19th and 21st Avenues parents are asked to consider dropping off/ picking up children on 26th Street (directly south of Jackson School). Both our east and west parking lots are closed to parents dropping off and picking up unless they have handicap tags.

Reminder: Do not block our neighbor’s driveways. U-turns during high traffic times are not encouraged. Please park ONLY in designated areas. Walk your children across busy streets. Do not stop in the middle of the street to pick up/drop off passengers. Please do not park in the bus zone!

Transportation

Riding the school bus is a privilege provided for our students who are in the bussing area. The expectation for riding the bus is that students are seated in their seats on their bottoms, no yelling or loud noises, and no eating on the bus. Students must be safe on the bus. If students cannot comply with these rules and regulations, their bus riding privilege may be taken away from them.

Bicycles

Jackson School strongly recommends that students in 3rd through 5th grade only ride their bicycles to school due to limited number of bicycle racks available at Jackson. All bicycles ridden to school should be locked in the bicycle racks. A tamper‑proof lock is strongly encouraged and helmets should be worn. The school does not assume liability for bicycles. Bicycles must be parked in the designated bicycle racks promptly upon arrival at school. Each student should individually lock his/her bike. For safety, bicycles need to be walked on and off the school grounds.

Skateboards

In-line Skates/Roller Skates

Students are asked to remove these items when on school property. Consequence: After a warning to remind students of this rule, students may be asked to leave the in-line skates/roller skates at home for a given length of time. Students who continue to violate this rule will have their in-line skates/roller skates confiscated. A parent/guardian will need to come to school to pick up these items.

Scooters

Scooters are not to be ridden on school grounds. Scooters that fold up should be folded up and carried. Consequence: After a warning to remind students of this rule, students may be asked to leave their scooter at home for a given length of time. Students who continue to violate this rule will have their scooter confiscated. A parent/guardian will need to come to school to pick up the scooter.
