Greetings, Jack London Families, We love parent/guardian volunteers at Jack London! If you are interested in getting involved, there are several options. First, you are encouraged to speak with your child's teacher about upcoming events and activities. Or, come in and speak with the office staff. We are often in need of volunteers to support with school events and services, such as Picture Day, Hearing Screenings, and Vision Screenings. Finally, we are always looking for parent participants for our School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), and Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meetings and events. If you choose to participate in events or activities here at Jack London, please be sure to review out Visitor and Volunteer Policies (Jack London Handbook, pg. 11-12): SCHOOL VISITORS All visitors are required to report to the school office upon arriving at campus. Classroom visits must be arranged in advance and have prior approval from the classroom teacher. Parent/guardian volunteers sign in and receive their volunteer badges in the office. Please avoid lengthy conferences with the teacher during such visits so the teacher can conduct class as usual. Students from other schools, or siblings of Jack London students, will not be permitted to visit during the regular school day. Please note that volunteers/visitors may have their visiting privileges limited or revoked if the classroom teacher, principal, or principal’s designee determines that the individual’s presence in the classroom, or on campus, obstructs, interferes, or disrupts the classroom or school environment. SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS Many enriching and worthwhile experiences are afforded our children through volunteer help from parents/guardians. With this support, teachers are able to provide more direct instruction. Parents/guardians interested in volunteering time and services are requested to contact their child’s teacher. We encourage our parents/guardians to visit and volunteer in classrooms; however, please leave young children/siblings at home as they are a distraction to students in the classroom. Parents/guardians are not expected to discipline students as that is the job of the staff member. All volunteers sign a Volunteer Code of Ethics before working in a class or with students. Please note that volunteers/visitors may have their visiting privileges limited or revoked if the classroom teacher, principal, or principal’s designee determines that the individual’s presence in the classroom, or on campus, obstructs, interferes, or disrupts the classroom or school environment. Please call the Jack London office with any questions. Thank you, Dr. Roat and Ms. Torres

This is an important reminder that this week, May 6th to May 10th, is Teacher Appreciation Week! Let's show our teachers how grateful we are for all of their hard work and dedication to our students. Please see flier, which was sent home with students last week, for details.

Good evening, Wolf Pack! Please see the attached flier for a few important Jack London reminders and updates regarding Open House on Thursday, May 2nd, and a minimum day on Friday, May 3rd. Thank you!
