Hazel I. Jackson Middle School

Synergy is retiring the current versions of the ParentVUE and StudentVUE mobile apps this summer. Beginning Monday, July 13, 2026, you will need the new version to log in as the current app will stop working.

The new apps are separate listings in the App Store/Play Store and not an update to what’s currently on your device. You’ll see ParentVUE (New) or StudentVUE (New) in the store once you search. When you open your current app, you’ll also be prompted to download the new one directly from there.

Some of the most important people in our schools are the ones who help students feel understood and able to take part in their education.

The School District of Lancaster is hiring Special Education Paraprofessionals to work closely with students throughout the school day. This role is built on trust and consistency, along with a willingness to meet students where they are.

The work can be challenging, but it can also change the way a student experiences school. Right now, we need people who are ready to show up and support students as they move forward.

This event was originally scheduled for Monday, July 27.

This session serves as both the required Valued Volunteers training and an introduction to Together We Read, our districtwide initiative that connects volunteers with students to help strengthen reading skills. You'll receive volunteer information along with practical strategies and resources to support young readers.

It started with a Facebook tag and three words: Let's get to work.
When Derrick Smith tagged Amber Holland, no one knew that simple response would spark a committee, a petition, 5,000 signatures, a school renaming - and a Foundation that has since granted over $37,000 to Lancaster's children.
That's what happens when a community decides to show up for its own.
This centennial year, we're continuing what Amber and so many others started. Professor Jackson's legacy isn't behind us - it's being written right now, by every person who chooses to be one of her 500 Champions.
