Dear Families of Jackson Park Elementary School:

Our faculty provides regular updates to you about your child’s academic progress by sending home a report card. Once a year we provide you with updates on Jackson Park’s achievements through the North Carolina School Report Card.

This report card includes important information about school and student performance, class sizes, attendance, school safety, instructional resources, and teacher quality. There is also information about how Jackson Park measured against the federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets and the number of suspensions in our school. Report data is also available for Kannapolis City Schools and for North Carolina’s education system as a whole.

Our school’s full report card can be found on the NC School Report Cards’ Web site. Kannapolis City Schools’ report card is also available on the Report Card Web. These School Report Cards are provided for regular public schools, charter schools, and alternative schools.

The numbers on the report card only tell part of the story. At Jackson Park we provide many programs and activities to assist our families and students:

• v Academic Learning Center Tutorial Program (after school) 
• Mimeo Boards in every classroom 
• Curriculum and Literacy Nights 
• 3D Reading Assessment 
• Education City Computer Program  
• First in Math Computer Program 
• Success Maker Computer Program 
• EOG Family Nights

State and local education leaders are committed to providing parents with more information about schools. Well-informed parents who participate in their child’s education and school enhance the learning environment for students and educators alike. In addition, the federal No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to issue report cards.

At Jackson Park Elementary School your involvement is very important to the success of our school! I encourage you to review our report card carefully, then feel free to contact me directly to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding the report card. I also welcome your feedback regarding other interests you may have in our school.

Thank you for allowing me to share this report card with you, and thank you for supporting our efforts to provide your child with a high-quality, 21st Century education.
