If your child must miss school, please call the school office on the day of his/her absence. A parent or guardian must sign out and pick up students at the front office in the case of early dismissals. For information about attendance requirements and what qualifies as an excused absence, please refer to our student handbook.

Do you enforce a dress code at Jackpot?

We expect our students to dress in an appropriate manner at all times. Student dress may not present a health or a safety hazard, violate municipal, county, or state law, or present a potential disruption of the educational process. Generally, we do not allow

  • Hats or hoods in the building

  • Halter tops, tube tops, half-shirts, or “muscle” shirts

  • Bike shorts or shorts that do not reach the tip of the finger when hands are extended straight along the thigh

  • See-through tops, strapless or spaghetti-strap blouses, or other attire that does not cover the undergarments, including sagging pants

  • Clothing with indecent pictures or sayings, offensive language, or references to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or violence

  • Pajamas

  • Bare feet

  • Items that represent gang affiliation, including bandanas, hair nets, and rolled up pant legs

  • Trench coats or dusters 

  • Un-hemmed clothing or clothing with slits up the sides

What is the cell phone policy at Jackpot?

We encourage all students to keep personal electronic devices at home, including cell phones. While we understand a parent’s wish to stay connected to their children during the school day, we cannot be held responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of any personal electronic device. If your child must bring a cell phone or other electronic communication device to school, it should remain powered off and/or in your child’s locker during the school day. Devices may only be used before and after school, during lunch, and at extracurricular school-sponsored events. Please review our student handbook for more information. 

How can I get more involved?

We strongly encourage your involvement. Please take the time to introduce yourself to your child’s teacher and let him or her know that you’re interested in getting involved. We also invite you to join the PTO. Parents with limited time can support their child’s education in some basic ways, including:

  • Encouraging your child to get plenty of sleep 

  • Offering a healthy diet, including a good breakfast (or getting your child to school early enough to eat breakfast in our cafeteria)

  • Helping your child get up in plenty of time for school

  • Providing neat, clean, comfortable clothes
