Students in the Jackson-Madison County School System will return to school on August 7th - Monday, August 7th. Many of our community partners have family-friendly events to provide additional support and supplies for our students. 

City of Jackson Councilman Johnny Dodd joins us this week to discuss the ICARE of Jackson - 3rd annual Better Community Summit! They’ll have a school supply giveaway and door prizes while educating the community on topics like how to have a successful school year. 

Also, we'll hear from a number of JMCSS teachers as they’ve spent the last week preparing for the return of our nearly 13,000 students. 

This week, we are spotlighting our Mechatronics program at the Workforce Development Center. This is a great opportunity for students and families to hear how JMCSS is preparing students for careers in Mechanical engineering, electrical/electronics engineering, and computer engineering. We’ll be joined by Jeff Replogle, the Mechatronics Teacher at JCM-Early College High and Michael Patrick, an Early College High School freshman and a star pupil in the Mechatronics program.
