Message from Our Community Superintendent
Jefferson Community,
As you know, we have begun the process of choosing a new Principal for the 2024-25 school year. We would love to have as much input from our community as possible. Please complete the Interview Committee Nomination Form if you would like to volunteer yourself or nominate another community member (not staff) to be on the Principal Interview Committee. In addition, we want to hear what characteristics you would like to see in the next principal. The Community Input Form is your chance to let us know what characteristics are most important to you. You may also take a look at the Principal Job Description for reference.
Thank you so much for your time and commitment to this process!

Panorama Student survey
Dear Families:
Panorama Education is a company who conducts student and family surveys in schools and districts across the country. Jefferson Junior Senior High School will be giving students the Panorama student survey in the coming months.
Content. The Panorama student survey gathers information on the following:
School Belonging
School Climate
School Engagement
School Teacher-Student Relationships
School Rigorous Expectations
School Safety
Math Identity
You may review the survey questions by visiting this link.
The results are compiled into aggregate-level school climate reports. These reports are used by district leaders and school staff to help maintain the positive aspects of our schools and to address individual student needs.
It is Voluntary. Your child does not have to take the student survey. Students who participate only have to answer the questions they want to answer and they may stop taking the survey at any time.
It is Confidential. No students will be identified in any public reports or publications. Individual student information (name, student number, school and grade) will be uploaded into the Panorama system. District staff will have access to the data file. Responses are confidential and identifiable. Individual student data may be shared with school staff to provide instructional and social emotional support.
Timing: The survey will be administered January 16 - February 23, 2024. It will take about 30-45 minutes.
Opt - Out: If you do not want your child to participate in the survey, you may contact Assistant Principal Kristin Landes at Kristin.Landes@jeffco.k12.co.us by February 16th.
Parent Institute
Middle School
Refocus attention on respect for a positive effect on learning
By the middle of the school year, students are usually feeling more comfortable and relaxed in their classes. That’s great! Unfortunately, however, a “relaxed” attitude toward respectful behavior often goes along with this.
