Principal's Message
Dear Jefferson Families,
October was such an exciting month of events filled with fun and learning. The Halloween dance, Red Ribbon week, costume contests, music concerts, and basketball games are just a few of our October highlights.
Parent conferences are tomorrow night. If you haven't signed up for conferences yet, you can still do so. Please call the front office at 453-5154 to schedule your conference appointments. To allow as many parents to meet with teachers as possible, appointment times are set in 10 min. increments. Please know the names of the teachers you would like to meet with when you call.
Thank you for all you do to support your child’s success and well-being!
Educationally Yours,
Mrs. Meara Trine
