School volunteers

The Jacques Memorial School believes quality education requires mutual respect and commitment among the community, parents, teachers and students. The purpose of volunteers is to assist in providing this quality education that prepares our students to become responsible and contributing citizens able to adapt to a changing world. This is best achieved through a cooperative effort involving students, educators, parents and community members. Please contact your child’s teacher for more information.
 
The evidence is clear. When parents are involved in a child's education, the child does better in school. For more information, please call the school.
 

Marking possessions

Every year we have boxes full of sweaters, coats, jackets, mittens, gloves, boots, hats, etc. that are left unclaimed. It would be helpful if all belongings are labeled so that lost articles might be returned to your children, saving you unnecessary expenses.
 

School insurance

A student accident insurance plan is offered to all school children. Notices can be downloaded on the District website www.milfordk12.org or call the office for more information. This is an optional program.
