Welcome to Jack London Elementary

NOTE: All POUSD schools will be closed for the remainder of next week, through Friday, October 20. As of this update, all of our school sites are intact but without water or power. We will continue to post information about school re-opening as it becomes available. We know that our community will be rebuilding and we hope to provide support and a safe place for our students. Please follow our Facebook page for updates.

We have set up a community fundraising page, which you can access here:

Our school is committed to providing high-quality education to all of our students. We achieve our goals through a challenging and meaningful curriculum, maintaining high quality teachers and staff, and creating an atmosphere that emphasizes community, communication, and cooperation. Together, these elements support a safe and engaging learning environment in which all students can excel.

A Note About Homework

We​ ​have​ ​created​ ​this​ ​Homework​ ​Handbook​ ​so​ ​that​ ​families​ ​know​ ​what​ ​to anticipate​ ​in​ ​each​ ​grade​ ​when​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​homework.​ ​​​We​ ​also​ ​want​ ​to​ ​share our​ ​thinking​ ​about​ ​the​ ​purposes​ ​of​ ​homework,​ ​and​ ​what​ ​families​ ​might​ ​do​ ​to extend​ ​activities​ ​beyond​ ​school.​. There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​wealth​ ​of​ ​research​ ​now​ ​on​ ​the​ ​best uses​ ​of​ ​homework​ ​and​ ​what​ ​is​ ​developmentally​ ​appropriate​ ​for​ ​each​ ​age group.

School Site Council Meetings

Site Council meetings are currently held on the first Thursday of the month, from 3 pm to 4 pm. We also post our agendas and minutes in the "About" section of this website.

Driver Safety Information

Picture
In order to avoid conditions that put students and adults at risk, we continue to improve our traffic routines for drop-off and pick-up. Please follow the updated traffic procedures for 2016 to provide a safe, efficient drop-off and pick-up for all students and adults. Also, please be patient as all families learn and abide by the new routine. If everyone follows these directions, it will be smoother, faster and safer for all.  When people try to do things that save them a minute or two, it usually costs other drivers time and is not safe.

Please do not drop-off or pick-up your child in front of the school or anywhere else along the driveway, except the west side drop-off/pick-up zone.

2017-18 Student and Parent Handbook

Every year we review and update our Student and Parent Handbook.  The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with information about programs and procedures at our school.  Please use this handbook as a reference during the school year.  It is our desire to engage in inclusive, transparent communication with all members of the community to promote understanding of our educations purpose, build support for our students, and encourage everyone's participation in student and their own personal learning.  We look forward to seeing you throughout the year and welcome your participation wherever possible.  No matter what you work or home schedule, there is a place for each and every one of you as part of our Jack London Family.

My School Bucks

www.myschoolbucks.com
The Piner-Olivet Union School District’s Food Service Department is excited to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service, MySchoolBucks, to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time.  By having money in each child’s account prior to entering the cafeteria, we find the lunch lines move along much faster, so your child has more time to eat and be with friends. 

You can create an account by visiting www.myschoolbucks.com  For your convenience, if you have an active NutriKids user account, you will be able to use the same credentials to log into MySchoolBucks.
