WELCOME!!
Hello Excelsior Charter Academy Students and Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Jackson and I am your child’s English Language Arts teacher at Excelsior Charter Academy (ECA).
I look forward to getting to know each student and supporting them in learning. Parents are a child’s original teacher and are the largest influence on their life. I appreciate your participation in your child’s education, it truly makes a difference.
If you need to contact me you may send a note with your child, e-mail me at ejackson@excelsiorschools.com, or phone the school at (786)565-9188. I look forward to hearing from each of you and learning about your child!
