There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns that end with an s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word:
Examples:

Class is singular (even though it ends in an -s). One class, in the possessive, is class's. "The class's group project is due next Monday." But if it's more than one class, you have classes. And classes' is the plural possessive form.
The form "Jacks" is the plural form of the proper noun "Jack".The possessive form of the singular noun "Jack" is Jack's.Examples:There are two Jacks in my class. (plural)Jack's decision pleased his parents. (possessive)
Example singular possessive nouns:the cover of the book = the book's coverthe teacher of our class = our class's teacherthe coat of the child = the child's coatthe shoes of the man = the man's shoesthe house of the neighbor = my neighbor's housethe flag of France = France's flag

The word Jessica is singular noun, the name of a person. The noun Jessica is a proper noun; proper nouns are always capitalized.The plural form is Jessicas, for example: There are two Jessicas in my class.
The word Diaz (without the s) is a singular, proper noun; the name of a person. The word Diaz's is the singular possessive noun.
