Drop Off
Please use the drop-off lane to drop your students off each morning. We are asking that you have your student ready to exit the vehicle. We are requesting that you do not exit your child on the street. We will have multiple cars exiting students and then the next group will go in the drop off lane. Do not move out of your lane spot until the entire group has exited their children safely. Please follow the direction of the staff in the orange vests. We want your child(ren) safe and on time to school, just as you do.) Thank you for your support!
Goal at Jefferson is to Improve Attendance!
