📚 Attendance Matters! 🏴☠️
Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and succeed! Regular attendance plays an important role in your student’s success. When students are in school and engaged in learning, they have more opportunities to build strong academic skills, stay connected with their teachers and classmates, and reach their goals.
As parents and guardians, one of the most important things we can do to support our children is make sure they are at school, on time, and ready to learn each day. Being present helps students stay on track academically, build relationships, participate in activities, and make the most of every opportunity.
Let’s work together to help our Pirates make every school day count!

Top Teachers Nominations are OPEN!
Each day in Jackson County, outstanding educators spark curiosity, guide meaningful growth, and create lasting change in the lives of their students. Jackson Magazine’s Top Teachers Program was created to recognize these inspiring leaders—and your nomination helps make that possible.
Educators will be honored as Top Teachers, and one will receive the distinguished title of Teacher of the Year. This comes after a careful, committee-led review and observation process. They will be featured in the May 2027 issue of Jackson Magazine.

Be currently employed as a full-time K–12 classroom teacher in a Jackson County, MI school.
Have completed a minimum of five years of classroom teaching prior to the 2026–2027 school year under either a Standard Teaching or ACA License.
To ensure recognition and support are extended to as many educators as possible, nominees must not have previously been named Jackson Magazine Teacher of the Year and must not have received a Top Teachers classroom grant within the past three years.
Not sure whether a teacher meets these requirements? Nominate them anyway—eligibility will be verified as part of the process.
