School Supplies for February
At Jefferson, we are busy planning for the smooth return to in-person learning for some students and continued focus at home for our remote students. As we help the students prepare for a change in our schedule, the teams would like to communicate the supplies that are essential to all of our students daily. Students who are remote should have these supplies near their workspaces for easy access while logging in to class each day and while completing asynchronous work outside of the scheduled class times.
The students who are returning to Jefferson must bring all supplies in a backpack or book bag. Students will not be able to borrow supplies from the classroom teacher or other students. A charged chromebook is extremely important to ALL learners. Students must be able to access online platforms from home and from the Jefferson Classrooms. Chromebooks will NOT be able to be charged at school and loaners will be available at this time.
Thank you so much for your support during our first semester! We are looking forward to a great 2nd semester. Please feel free to contact your grade level team leader with questions or concerns!
