If feels as though fall is starting to come in! Here's hoping that the change of the season is a bright and welcomed one for you all.

With temperatures starting to drop (especially in the mornings) please be sure that your child is dressed for the weather. If you need assistance with outerwear, please let us know.

Please read below for important information coming up for Jefferson.

If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!
