September is Attendance Awareness Month: All Absences are Equal -
Chances are your child will need to miss a few days of school this year. While some absences might seem more excusable, the impact is actually the same whether your child is sick, ditching or taking a family trip. Any absence makes it harder for your child to keep up with the everyday classroom learning that is needed to grow and succeed. Some absences are unavoidable; but too many will make your child fall behind and they might not be able to catch up. Save absences for when it is absolutely necessary and make sure they are in school every day.
September is Attendance Awareness Month: Establish Good Attendance Habits Now -
Can you imagine your child ditching school all the time? It may be difficult to picture now, but kids who miss too many days in elementary school are more likely to miss in middle and high school. This puts them at greater risk of dropping out. If you allow them to be absent too many times now they can form poor habits which could be harmful to their future success. Help your child build good attendance habits by making sure they are at school every day.
Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) will be hosting Fall Intercession during Fall Break, from October 2nd to October 6th, for grades TK to 6th. The program is free to AUSD students. Spaces are limited. If you interested, applications are available in the office.
Jack London PTO will be holding their first meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, September 20th at 4:00pm in the library. Please see the attached flier for more details.
September is Attendance Awareness Month: Absences Add Up -
Even in elementary school, missing 18 or more days per year (or just 2 days per month) is too many. Students who miss too many days in elementary school are more likely to fall behind in reading, writing and math. This makes them less likely to graduate high school. Keep track of and limit your child’s absences in order to keep them on course to succeed in their future.
September is Attendance Awareness Month: Attendance Matters -
School, even in the early years, is critical to building a strong foundation for learning that will help your child succeed in middle school, high school and beyond. You cannot make up for too many absences with homework or take-home assignments. Each day your child is not in school is a missed opportunity to learn something they will need in order to understand more difficult material later. Help your child succeed in their future. Make sure they are in school every day.
Greetings, Jack London Families!

Good evening, Jack London Families,
We look forward to seeing you all here for Back to School Night. We wanted to provide some updates on our timeline. Due to an issue with the chiller here at Jack London, our AC was off for a couple hours this afternoon. The issue is being addressed; however, classrooms remain warmer than usual this evening. Due to that we are modifying our BTSN schedule slightly:
6:00-6:15pm Welcome in Courtyard
6:15-6:30 - Session 1
6:30-6:35 - Transition (for those with siblings)
6:35-6:50 Session 2
6:50-7:00 Exit and Parent Tables
Thank you! We will see you at 6pm.
