Library Permission Slip/ Permiso para la Biblioteca
Science and Stories Laboratory
Our librarian leads an exciting and enriching new program that links literacy and life science based on Perfect Pairs, a resource by Melissa Steward and Nancy Chesley. These classes demonstrate how science can be a vehicle for providing rich language and critical thinking opportunities for students.
Digital Literacy Resources for Parents
Your child is having a birthday and the Jackson library has a fantastic gift idea!
The Birthday Book Club brings reading enjoyment to your child andthe satisfaction of contributing to our school community.
How it works:
During the week of your child’s birthday, he/she will visit the library to purchase a new book from the Birthday Book Club’s selection of diverse and high quality options. Your child will take the book home to enjoy, and when he/she is done, the book will be returned to the library where it will become a part of the school’s collection. A beautifully illustrated bookplate label will be adhered to the inside cover acknowledging your child’s donation. As a Birthday Book Club member, your child will be presented with an official club pin and thanked for their contribution when their class visits the library.
If you would like to participate, please return the enclosed form (en español) along with a donation of $10, $15, or $20 to the library or office. Your child will be invited to come to the library to select a birthday book(s) in their price range.
Thanks for your support!

Class Visit & Borrowing
Each class visits the library every other week, and students who have turned in a signed permission slip are able to borrow books. In addition, the library is open for students to read quietly or check out books during morning recess, lunch and for a short period after school every day. It is sad and difficult for children who are not able to borrow books from the library so please help your child remember to turn in a permission slip, learn how to take good care of library books, and remind them to return their books to the library on time.
