IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE JAGUAR WALK ABOUT!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

1. The PTSA online registration site is no longer selling items. You can still sign up to become a PTSA member, make a donation and volunteer. 2011 Spirit wear is sold out. Last year’s spirit wear will be for sale at the Jaguar Walk About. We still have a limited supply of school supplies, required reading, and planners. They will be for sale at the Jaguar Walk About until they sell out. ONLY CHECKS AND CASH will be accepted at the Walk About.

2. Your items will be reserved for you to pick up August 10-12 at the Jaguar Walk-About as long as you paid online. If you have it, please bring your RECEIPT. Don’t worry if you didn’t print it as we will have a spreadsheet with all sales.

3. You MUST pick up your pre-ordered items during the Jaguar Walk-About. Jasper is open: Aug 10th from 9-4, Aug 11th from 9-4, Aug 12th from 9-1. You can come up any time during those days to walk your schedule and pick up your PRE-PAID items. **IF YOU CANNOT PICK UP YOUR ITEMS ON THESE DAYS, THEN PLEASE HAVE A FRIEND PICK THEM UP FOR YOU** No exceptions please.

4. We HIGHLY recommend that you don’t come on the first day, especially in the morning. The first mornings will likely be our busiest time. Later in the afternoon of each of the days will probably be the best times (1-4). Please be patient with us! If there are lines, then try walking your schedule first and then come back.

5. Your school ID can be purchased at the Parent Portal website. Pictures for the ID and yearbook will be taken on September 7 and 8, 2011 during the school day, NOT during the Walk About. To order a yearbook, please visit www.jostensyearbooks.com Yearbooks can also be ordered in the cafeteria at the Jaguar Walk About.

6. The Jasper PTSA registration is VERY different from the school registration. Beginning on August 1, parents can log on to their PISD Parent Portal (the same place where you can see your child’s grades during the school year) to access and complete all of the necessary forms and permission slips to issue a student schedule. Your child’s schedule will NOT be available until August 10^th! You have to purchase a student ID to get your schedule on the 10^th. *Go to www.pisd.edu. Click on the "Parent Tab". Then "Parent Portal"

7. Freshman Orientation is Saturday, August 13^th. Most of your questions about Freshman Orientation can be found at www.jasperptsa.org on the home page. If you need to switch times or have any other questions, then please contact Amanda Mathews at Amanda.Mathews@pisd.edu Times for Freshman Orientation are: AM Session is from 8:30 a.m.- 12:00 noon OR PM Session is from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m

Things to Remember:

Students will have their yearbook and student ID pictures taken on September 7 (9^th grade) and September 8 (10^th grade), and not during the Jaguar Walk About.

The DEADLINE to prepay for school supplies, required reading, spirit wear, Freshman Orientation and planners was August 7^th!

You will NOT find your Jasper school schedule here. Beginning August 1, parents can log on to their PISD Parent Portal to access and complete all of the necessary forms and permission slips to issue a student schedule. SCHEDULES WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL AUGUST 10th, but you can complete the necessary forms beginning August 1st.

Camp Jag/ Freshman Orientation Frequently Asked Questions

What is Camp Jag? Camp Jag is a half day program that consists of a variety of student and teacher led sessions. The topics covered will include study skills, time management, high school expectations, school rules/policies, and student activities/organization. Students will also get a chance to tour the building so they will feel comfortable

When is Camp Jag and what time are the sessions? Both Sessions are on Saturday, August 13th. The AM Session is from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon. The PM Session is from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Where are the students picked up and dropped off? Please drop your student off at the south entrance at the gymnasium at least 15 minutes before the program start time. We will conclude each session at the times listed above. Your student can be picked up at the same location.

What if my student can only attend half of the session or is running late? If your child will be picked up early or dropped off late, please use the north entrance and make contact with the front office. The number is 469-752-7402 if you would like to call ahead. We will have a teacher volunteer working the front desk to assist you and/or your student while orientation is in progress.

What do they need to bring? In order for your student to enter Camp Jaguar, they must show their class schedule. Please do not bring locker supplies because you will not have time to organize you locker. What do I wear? Student participants must adhere to the school dress code which can be found on the district webpage at http://www.pisd.edu/policyguide.English.pdf. We recommend that students wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking throughout the building.

Jasper - Tom Thumb Partnership

Tom Thumb's Good Neighbor Program is an easy way to support our PTSA. Every time you shop at Tom Thumb a portion of your purchases will be donated to the Jasper High School PTSA if you have designated our PTSA on your Rewards Card. Families can have up to three charities designated however, the total applicable purchases will be equally divided between the charities selected.

To sign-up for the Good Neighbor Program, or to change your current designated organization, stop by any Courtesy Booth at a Tom Thumb store. You will need to complete a Reward Application and indicate that Jasper High School PTSA #7925 is your designated charity. Our PTSA has the potential to earn over $15,000 a year if all of our families would take a few moments to designate our PTSA on their Reward Card!

Car Decals

The Jasper Jazz Drill Team is the only organization selling car decals for teams, clubs and other groups at Jasper. This year the decals have been redesigned in full color. Decals adhere to the outside of your car window and can be personalized with your student's name.
