Safety First! We understand that everyone is in a hurry at drop off and pick up time. Here are a few reminders to help us keep your child safe:

Please don't use the bus lane to drop off or pick up during arrival or dismissal. Sign at entrance to bus lane is very clear.

Please follow the signs in the south parking lot and please stay in the car line. Remember to get into a double lane to help keep cars from backing up onto the street.

Job Opportunities: We currently have one Special Education ParaEducator and one Teaching position posted. Please consider applying to these openings! Postings Linked Here

Grade Level T-Shirt Donations: If you have a gently used Jefferson grade level t-shirt that your child doesn't wear anymore, the PTO is collecting these and they will be donated to students in the future. Your child can bring it to their classroom teacher and they will be collected in a box just outside out Volunteer Coordinator's Office.

Lost and Found: With colder weather comes more lost items. Please remind your child to check the lost and found for items that seem to be missing at home. As always, please label your child's items with their name and then we can easily return them to your child.

At this Holiday Season our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have contributed to the success of our school. In this spirit, we simply would like to say Thank You and Best Wishes for the Holidays and a Happy New Year.
