Falcon Flyer

Dear Falcon Families,

As we soar into another week at Jefferson Middle School, I want to share some important updates and reminders with you.

School Site Council Meeting

Join us for the School Site Council meeting on Tuesday, November 19 at 3:15 PM in the Jefferson Library. We will be voting on the approval of the final School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Once approved, the SPSA will be sent to the school board for final approval. Your participation is valuable in shaping our school's future!

Field Trip Success

We are thrilled to announce that the 8th grade field trip to the Oceanside Theatre Company to see The Addams Family was a resounding success! Students enjoyed an engaging performance, which not only entertained but also enriched their appreciation for the arts. Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible.

Construction Updates

We are excited to report progress on our construction projects. This week, work continued with the completion of additional tasks in the MDF room located in Building H. The completed work includes:

- Metal framing for walls

- Rough electrical installation

- Drywall installation

- HVAC unit setup

We are currently at 75% completion and anticipate reaching 100% completion in about two weeks. Thank you for your patience and support during this time.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in making Jefferson Middle School a great place for our students to learn and grow. Together, we can achieve great things!

Warm regards,

Dr. Penuliar

Principal, Jefferson Middle School

We're making steady progress with our campus improvements:

• Building H: The MDF room has seen significant advancements, including metal framing for walls, rough electrical work, drywall installation, and HVAC unit placement.
• ADA Compliance: Restroom ramp extensions have been installed to meet all ADA requirements, ensuring our campus restrooms are accessible to everyone.
• Relocatable Restrooms: All fencing around these facilities has been removed, and restroom accessories are now in place. We're just waiting for the locks to be ready before opening them for use.

Estamos haciendo progresos constantes con nuestras mejoras del campus:

• Edificio H: La sala de MDF ha visto avances significativos, incluyendo el marco de metal para las paredes, el trabajo eléctrico en bruto, instalación de paneles de yeso, y la colocación de la unidad de HVAC.
  
• Cumplimiento de la ADA: Se han instalado extensiones de las rampas de los aseos para cumplir todos los requisitos de la ADA, lo que garantiza que los aseos de nuestro campus sean accesibles para todo el mundo.
  
• Baños reubicables: Se han retirado todas las vallas que rodeaban estas instalaciones y ya se han colocado los accesorios de los aseos. Sólo estamos esperando a que estén listas las cerraduras para abrirlos al uso.

*The interactive slides of these displays have been emailed to students.

*Las diapositivas interactivas de estas exposiciones se han enviado por correo electrónico a los alumnos.
