Planning for the 2025-2026 school year has begun and we are extremely excited to be welcoming our future Grade 9 students from South Canoe, Silver Creek, Ranchero, Shuswap Middle School, Carlin, and North Shuswap! Over the next few weeks, we will be visiting your child’s class to share some important information about Jackson and guide them through the course selection process for the 2025-2026 school year.
Please engage with your child during the course selection process and take extra care reviewing the course selection Information below. The decisions students make can have a huge impact on both their future opportunities and the courses we are able to offer.
