From the Principal
Hello Jefferson Families,
Through it all, the school year moves onward, and we are continuing to strive in every way possible to advance the growth and learning of each Jefferson student.
Digital Citizenship Presentation
As fellow parents, my wife and I are trying our best to guide and direct our children in the digital world we live in. I highly recommend you take some time to view this presentation from a few weeks ago by University of Washington assistant professor Dr. Magis-Weinberg. The digital world presents both opportunities and risks. While young people today are highly familiar with technology, they cannot simply unlock all its benefits without guidance and support.
Kindergarten Enrollment Opens March 4th
Do you have a child (or know of one) who will be five years of age by August 31st? Kindergarten enrollment for the 2024-25 school year is opening soon. All children entering kindergarten in 2024-25 must be 5 years old by August 31, 2024. The kindergarten enrollment process is complete once you have received confirmation from your child's school. Click here to be taken to the enrollment page which includes a step-by-step walkthrough enrollment video available in multiple languages.
Conference Week- March 25-29
Spring conferences are coming up at the end of the month. As in the fall, teachers will be sending home sign-ups in the next few weeks. During the week of the 25th-29th (as well as Friday, March 22nd), school will dismiss at 1:00. Conferences provide a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate growth, and set goals for the last portion of the school year.
Annual Family Stakeholder Survey
We are encouraging all families to take the Panorama Annual Stakeholder Survey. The survey will remain open until March 29th. Having a large response rate for the survey helps us as we use the data to inform our practices. Click here to take the survey or utilize the QR code below.
Thank you for your continued partnership.

From the Music Room
Hello Jefferson Families! Our 3-5 concert at the Everett Civic Auditorium was a huge success! If you have a child in grades 3-5, please be sure to congratulate them for such a wonderful performance. I know there was some difficulty accessing the live stream of the concert, and I apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused. If you would like to share the link to the performance with your family, you can access the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cStUCxIx1Vk
If you have a child in K-2, please save the date of May 6th for your concert! I look forward to seeing you there.
