Open Letter to the Jackson High School Cluster

An outline of expectations for the 2013-2014 school year.

by Stephanie S. Johnson

We are officially working in the 2013-14 school year now, and I know our stakeholders are ready to hear from Maynard Jackson High School to learn of our status so far with planning for our students’ arrival in August:
  • I have attached an updated copy of the Back to School Letter that accompanied the report cards in June.
  • Additionally, I am adding contact information for the uniforms (Don’t get overwhelmed with the number of items offered on the attached order form. Mr. Gordon from Pro Image will assist you with ordering). It is important for everyone to understand that most items may be purchased from local retail stores; however, Mr. Gordon is the distributor contact for Pro Image and may be contacted at 770.991.2164.  Mrs. Cynthia Horton is the school-based contact for Maynard Jackson this summer. After July 15, 2013, she may be contacted at (404) 802-5200.  Uniform items may be purchased directly from Mr. Gordon or  the school.
  • Open House for all APS high schools has been changed from August 2 to August 5 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  The new date/time is included on the letter attachment.
  • Work Permits and Certificates of Attendance may be obtained from Any APS Summer School Site while school-based secretaries, counselors, registrars, and administrators are off duty or attending workshops this summer. Most office personnel return between July 21 and July 26, 2013.
  • TBA – SEACS is planning a Back-to-School fair on Saturday, August 3rd at Maynard Jackson.  More information is forthcoming.
  • TBA – Activities to promote our IB program and welcome IB students to Maynard Jackson High School – Please see Mrs. Murrell.
FYI…Most of our faculty members  including myself are attending IB Certification Training this week at Atlanta International School. Therefore, there is limited availability of school personnel on site right now. Faculty volunteers are assisting with answering the phone this week and ensuring that I receive messages.  Mrs. Horton and I return to campus full-time on Monday, July 15th. The remaining administrators, secretaries, registrar, and counselors return between July 21 and 26  from vacation.

If you send an e-mail or text this week to me, I will respond.
