Jefferson Weekly News
March 2nd-6th
Jefferson Families,
What a fantastic start to the school year it has been! In an effort to increase communication, I will be sending out weekly newsletters with events and information. I am hoping this will be a great way to keep everyone connected and involved in our school. Thanks for all you do for our Jefferson kiddos!
Mr. O'Konek
Parent Teacher Conferences
Be on the lookout for your child's conference time and please return conference form to your child's teacher. Conferences are March 11th, 12th, & 13th.
Attendance Awareness Month
Research shows that missing 18 days, or 10% of the school year, negatively affects student academic performance. That's just two days a month to be considered "chronically absent."
Behavior Focus
We are focusing on having students line up immediately when they hear the whistle. Please remind your child to put the equipment away and line up right away after the whistle is blown.
