Routines, Routines, Routines
We are getting settled here at TJ! Students have been implementing the RISE expectations, had an assembly to welcome them to the school year and enjoyed a few Friday lunches outside. We are excited for the upcoming Fun Run in October, can't wait for our first Character Trait assembly and had two practice fire drills already!
Thank you Thomas Jefferson families for helping us start off strong. A huge shout out to the parents that have already volunteered their time, from making copies to lunchroom help to art docent to classroom groups, we are so happy to have the extra hands on campus. You are an integral part of Team TJ.
The picture shows our new lunch cards. Kids order their hot lunch choice when they arrive but in order to count the number of lunches given to students each day, we scan their barcode in line. Remind your kids to take the lunch they ask for in the morning because it impacts the last crowd to eat. We had some very sad kiddos when the grilled cheese was all gone last week. I am sure you can imagine the angst.
We emphasize Respect, Integrity, Safety and Engagement at Thomas Jefferson so all of the information in this newsletter falls into one or more of those categories. We appreciate the parents that help us model these traits on a daily basis. From parking lot etiquette, to showing up on time, you are the person that sets the positive tone for the day. We follow that up with a greeting at the door and morning announcements encouraging a cohesive and collaborative school day. Let's continue to work together!
See you on campus.
Jennifer Deslaurier, Principal

CARING
Every Day Matters!
As we embark on a new school year, I am delighted to announce the launch of the district-wide "Every Day Matters" Attendance Campaign, an initiative aimed at emphasizing the crucial role of regular school attendance in the academic success of our students.
We firmly believe that consistent attendance plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational journey of each child. It lays the foundation for their growth, fosters a sense of responsibility, and cultivates a lifelong love for learning. By attending school every day, your child gains the essential tools to overcome challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
To support you in ensuring your child's attendance remains steadfast, we have curated a wealth of valuable resources on our “Every Day Matters” website. These resources are designed to empower you with practical tips, strategies, and inspiration to encourage your child to embrace the educational journey with enthusiasm and dedication.
Our school office is always here to lend a helping hand, so do not hesitate to reach out should you require any assistance or encounter challenges in ensuring your child's consistent attendance. We understand that life can sometimes throw unexpected hurdles our way, but with your support and our unwavering commitment to your child's success, together, we can overcome any obstacles that come our way!
