In The Spotlight

School Spotlight

Walter Jackson Elementary school is one of 200 schools in Alabama to be selected as a Bicentennial School. Our selection means that we will receive a $2,000 grant in August 2018 to continue our work on the Outdoor Classroom renovation project in the front of the school. Besides adding to the beauty of our campus, the grant money will also aid our study of Alabama native, George Washington Carver. Our school will be learning about our great state all this year. Stay tuned for more information as the school year begins!

PTO Spotlight

The Walter Jackson PTO is a very active group of parents who work hard to make sure the needs of students and teachers are always met. The group also enriches the school community by hosting events such as Grandparents' Day and the Fall Festival. Information will be posted soon on how you can join and help!
