End of Term

Jackson School ends at the normal school time on the last day each term. There may be an end of term function or celebration.

Enrolments

All enrolments enquiries should be directed to the leading teaching overseeing partnerships and transitions, Bernadette O’Sullivan. Jackson School is for students with an intellectual disability in the 50 - 70 IQ range. On enrolment, a confidential child information form and required permission forms are completed and filed in the students file in the office area. A list of the children’s individual permission authorities will be on Xuno. Staff must notify the School Office if they are informed of any change of address, transfer, etc. in order that the emergency information held on CASES21 is always accurate.

Environmental Awareness

Please encourage students to be environmentally aware with regard to waste and use materials or school resources wisely. Also, encourage students to think about how they can repurpose or reuse materials after their use instead of just throwing unused materials away.  Educate students with regard to the use/waste of utilities i.e. turn off lights, AC, heating when not in use i.e. recess and lunch breaks. Maybe have lights, AC, heater monitors. Educate students about maintenance of school room climate - what could they do to keep a room warm, cool, and then follow these practices. A standard 21 degrees is an ideal classroom thermostat temperature for heaters. Discuss water use and waste - what does this look like in your room? Maths activity?  Please ensure that all appliances and electrical equipment are turned off at the end of the school day (except the fridges). 

Exit Students Transferring

If a staff member is notified of a student transferring out of Jackson school an electronic transfer is required. Please notify Bernadette O’Sullivan of the possible departure date and any other relevant information.

Excursion Guidelines

All staff must follow specific protocols in organising and attending any excursions. Please refer to the Excursion, Incursion and Camps guide for further information and processes.
