The school has started off great with lots of new faces and enthusiasm throughout Jefferson. This year students are being encouraged to be champions in all they do. Champions come in many forms throughout a students' day, whether in learning, sports, self or the community. All students can be their best every day. Some ways students can do their best at school is to be present every day, actively participate in class, be a good friend and making responsible decisions. As we work together we can support students as they become the champions they are meant to be.

Tips to help students feel like a MULTIPLE-CHOICE CHAMPION before a big test

1. Reread the question. Make sure you understand what is being asked.

2. Come up with an answer to the question before looking at the list of choices.

3. Read ALL of the answers and cross out the choices that don’t make sense.

4. Underline the section in the text or question that supports your reasoning.

5. Look carefully at similar-sounding answers. Find the more precise answer.

6. Select “All of the above” if two or three answers seem correct.

We appreciate all the patience you have had this first week with bussing and communication regarding how you student(s) are being transported to and from school.

For those picking up your students at the end of the day, we ask that you do not use the front turnaround or the back parking lot to pick up students. The pick up/drop off loop off of 5th St. is the most efficient way to pick up and drop off students. The first week is always a little slow as the teachers and families are becoming familiar with each other. It will get better and be safer for all students if you following the pick up and drop off procedures.

Every day your student misses school the more they miss out on learning. Students are considered chronically absent missing 18 days a school year/2 days per month. Tardies count too. Five minutes late in the morning adds up quickly to count for days. All students get sick throughout the school year but missing more than the average kid doesn't allow them to reach their goals.

Jefferson sells ice cream for $1 each Friday. This is a service which allows students to purchase a sweet treat at the end of lunch. Students must eat at least half of their lunch in order to purchase ice cream. We are encouraging healthy eat habits for all students.
