 Jackson - Yesterday marked the first day of school for kids across Amador County, and enrollment for the most part has risen. First day of school enrollments numbers from five schools across Amador County increased, with the exception of Sutter Creek Elementary. “It depends on how many go out and how many come in. You could have a large 5th grade class leaving and a smaller 1st grade class coming in,” said Tina Blacklock, a Sutter Creek Elementary Assistant in charge of attendance. Day one attendance was 482 at Ione Elementary, 459 at Jackson Elementary and 261 at Pine Grove Elementary. Amador High School’s enrollment tally was 730, but Administrative Assistant Julie Riffel (RIFFLE) said “that number will definitely change a lot when considering all the appointments coming up for incoming students.” Argonaut High School, North Star Independent School and both Ione and Jackson Middle Schools were not available at the time this story was published. Enrollment numbers are a way to keep track of the number of youth in the county. The School District has said they use the numbers to gauge the demand for schooling in Amador County.
