Important Update on Afterschool Programming for 2024-2025
As Jackson Public Schools undergoes a period of internal restructuring, our Afterschool programs will look different for the 2024-2025 school year. While we are working diligently to reimagine and expand our Out-of-School time offerings, we want to ensure that families have access to the resources they need for Afterschool Care and Enrichment.
Community-Based Afterschool Resources
To support our families during this time of transition, we have compiled a list of local Afterschool programs and services available within the community. These opportunities offer a variety of educational, recreational, and social experiences for students outside the traditional school setting.

Stay Connected with Your School
-
As we continue to shape the future of afterschool programming within Jackson Public Schools, we encourage parents and guardians to reach out to their respective school principals for updates on any current afterschool offerings or changes specific to their child’s school.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to provide more robust, innovative, and inclusive programming for all of our scholars.
