P.T.O. Butterbraid Sale
The sale officially started on Nov. 6th. Here are the details.
Monday, November 6th – ordering began.
Thursday, November 29th – all orders and money due
Tuesday, December 19th – order pick-up at Jefferson
Orders MUST be picked up during the scheduled time: 4PM - 6PM. The school cannot hold orders that are not picked up.
Winter Weather Gear
Please make sure your child has proper gear for being outside daily for recess. We go outside as long as the temperature is above Zero and Windchill above Negative Ten.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found has filled up quickly, as the weather has gotten cooler. Remind your child to pick up their lost items. Please label all gloves, hats, jackets, snowpants, boots, sweatshirts with your child's name. We get hundreds of lost items and if they aren't labeled, it gets very difficult to return them to the correct student.
Volunteer
When Families, Teachers, Students and others view one another as Partners in Education, students succeed. Thank you to the wonderful Jefferson volunteers who give of their time each day. Our volunteers have put in 310 hours so far this school year!
Thank you for supporting Jefferson Elementary! We are grateful for our volunteers!

New for the 2023-24 school year, elementary school report cards will be available online and will no longer be sent through postal mail or student’s backpacks. Families will be able to access report cards by logging into A-HConnect or viewing it on the ParentVUE mobile app.
The switch to online report cards means that information is available to review shortly after the conclusion of each trimester. Parents, guardians and any person with educational rights to a student will be able to access the student’s report card online.
To ensure access to the report cards when available at the conclusion of Trimester 1, families are encouraged to make sure they have their login information now. Currently, report cards from last school year are available for viewing.
How to view report cards from A-HConnect (view detailed instructions):
Login to A-HConnect.
Click on the ‘My Student Information/ParentVUE’ icon.
Select a student from the dropdown menu.
Select ‘Documents.’
Select and view the applicable report card from the ‘Documents’ window.
The report card will open in a new tab where the capabilities to download or print will be available.
View from the ParentVUE app (view detailed instructions):
Go to the AppStore or Google Play and search for the ParentVUE app.
Enter your zip code when prompted, and select “Anoka-Hennepin School District” from the menu options.
Confirm ‘yes’ and select ‘Already Activated,’ if prompted.
Use login/password to login.
Select a student from the student list.
Select ‘Documents.’
Select and view the applicable report card.
Click the share button to save or share the PDF.
If you need assistance logging in or forgot your password, call 763-506-HELP (4357) or email 506help@ahschools.us. For questions about the report cards or for printing accommodations, please contact the main office at your child’s school.
