Welcome Back Parents!

My name is Robert Estrada and it is an honor to be the principal of Jefferson School. I am honored to start my 17th year at this magical school. For many generations our school has been committed to the education of our students and the families that we serve. At Jefferson School we believe that every child in every classroom can and will achieve success. This belief is the reason why you have made the decision to trust us with your children.

At Jefferson, the student’s achievements and the joy of learning is optimized and facilitated by supportive teachers, staff and administration in a challenging and exciting environment. The faculty and staff at Jefferson are committed to academic success in English Language Arts, Math and English Language Development. We offer students multiple opportunities to reach their fullest potential through grade level standards and intervention programs during and after school.

Jefferson's AVID and Engineering program prepares each of our TK-5th grade students for college and career while providing our students with well rounded opportunities inside and outside the classroom like Leader In Me, Playworks, and social emotional support. We value our partnership with our parents and families, thus we also offer parents multiple educational opportunities to support their children at home. Please join us and TOGETHER we will all celebrate our success!

Sincerely,

Principal, Roberto Estrada Jr.

Please help us welcome our new school counselor Mr. Ernie Casillas.

Mr. Casillas comes to us from Buford Elementary. He has also worked at Felton Elementary. Mr. Casillas' experience as a counselor will provide our students and parents with a great deal of support.

Please call or email him if you have any questions or concerns with your child's social and emotional needs at (310) 680-5650 or ernie_casillas@lennoxk12.org.

Our parents are welcome on campus on the first day of school ONLY. The gates will open at 7:45am. We ask that the parents stay in the playground area until 8:05am when we will allow students to go to their classrooms. At 8:13am, the teachers will open their doors.

*TK and Kinder: Please go directly the the Cafeteria at 7:45am.

All students will need to be dismissed with their teacher. No exceptions will be made.

For the safety of our students each grade and teacher has been assigned a gate where they will be dismissed. Please review the map above so that you can arrive on time to the designated location.

Please plan on the following:

1. Jefferson is a BIG campus, please arrive early and park in streets and pay attention to the NO PARKING restrictions.

2. If you are picking up more than one student, ALWAYS pick up the youngest child first and then pick up the other student.

3. BE SAFE: No double parking, Don't stopping in the middle of the road. These create a safety hazard for your child and we will need to report this to the authorities. Remember: we are mandated reporters.

4. Always park your car. We will NEVER release a student to a parent who did not get out of their car. If you are picking up 4th or 5th grade students on 104th, you must park your car and walk to the gate in order for us to release your child.

5. If your child is in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade and you give them permission to walk home, please complete the form below. Students will not be released unless the form is completed.

A Big Thank You and Welcome to our families that attended our TK and Kinder Orientation. We are excited to welcome our young Jaguars to our school. If you missed the meeting, please click on the slides below. Call the school if you have any questions.
