Jackson Middle School: A Specialty School for Math and Science

10/06/2026

Family representation is needed at Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) meetings for the upcoming school year from families with students of all age levels - including early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school, and transition-aged students - with a full continuum of student disabilities. The focus of meetings is driven by parents' interests and resources that benefit all families of students served in special education.

👋 Join SEAC for its first meeting of the year this Thursday, Oct. 8 from 6-7 p.m. at the Educational Service Center in Anoka.

❓What it is: SEAC (pronounced “seek”) is comprised of parents/guardians of students in the district who receive Special Education services.

🩷 Why it matters: The intent of SEAC is to advise the school district on parent involvement, current issues, program development and established department priorities. The council serves as a resource and an advisory council for special education programs in the district.

Technology plays an important role in preparing students for life, and Chromebooks are utilized as a daily learning tool in Anoka-Hennepin middle and high school classrooms. Anoka-Hennepin students in grades 6-12 are assigned a Chromebook from the school district to ensure access to technology systems that support classroom learning.

Over 28,000 Chromebooks are distributed to students the first week of school. As careful as students and schools are, accidents do happen - and thousands of Chromebooks are returned at the end of the school year with damages.

Families have the option to enroll in the Device Protection Plan to avoid costly repairs and downtime. The enrollment window is open until Friday, Oct. 30, 2026. Learn more:

As Anoka-Hennepin Schools welcome students back for the 2026-27 school year, we realize that every student is writing their own unique and inspiring story. Each school day is an opportunity to turn the page, learn something new, and build upon the chapters that lead to student success.

Our schools and our staff believe that when we work together, the little things that happen in our classrooms - the connections, the lessons learned, and the daily wins - add up to make a difference in building upon each student’s story. Thank you for believing in and supporting our schools, and we look forward to making the upcoming school year another memorable chapter in your student’s story.
