Tuesday, October 22, 2019
Dear Jefferson families,
Students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st. The following guidelines will be followed for all students:
No full face masks are allowed
Makeup will not be worn
NO violent themed or scary costumes are allowed
Board policy clearly prohibits look-a-like weapons such as toy guns, knives, swords, or other threatening objects. These items are not allowed at school for any reason.
Wearing a costume is a family decision and is not required by any means. If a family wishes that their child/children not participate in the Halloween Parade or other celebrations, please make your child’s teacher aware prior to Thursday, October 31st. We will have other opportunities available.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Molly Demrow
Principal, Jefferson Elementary School
Clothing Expectations for Cooler Weather
A temperature of 40 degrees or less requires a winter jacket.
Temperatures between 40-50 degrees requires long sleeves.
Students will not be able to go in and out of the building during recess times to get clothing items. All items should be brought with them to recess right away. This is for safety and supervision purposes.
Once snow arrives, if a student does not have boots or snow pants, they must remain on the blacktop.

Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures for Jefferson Eagles
School hours are from 8:45 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. Cadets are on duty 15 minutes before and after each school day session. Staff is on duty to supervise the playground beginning at 8:25 am each school day. We ask that students do not arrive at school before that time, as no adult supervision is available. The only exception is for students going into the building for the breakfast program, which begins at 8:15 am. Parents and guardians, we ask for your help in this effort to have children leave home at an appropriate time to gauge their arrival time at school.
Student Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures:
We need your help to keep the school and your child safe. The following procedures ensure that students enter and exit vehicles in a safe and organized manner. Please follow our pick-up and drop-off procedures. Failure to do so causes frustration, confusion, and unsafe conditions.
Morning Drop Off
Drop off time is 8:25 am, unless the student is going inside for breakfast. The breakfast program begins at 8:15 am. Supervision for students outside or in if the weather is inclement will begin at 8:25 am. The bell will ring at 8:35 am. Students need to be in their classrooms at 8:45 am for the official start of day. After 8:45 am, students will be considered tardy.
Students may be dropped off on the school side of Oak Street. Drivers should pull their vehicle up to the curb, moving as far forward as possible, toward Wyatt Avenue.
There is no drop off on Jefferson Street in front of the building.
When using the loading zone, do not come into the building with your child. Please let them out at the curb and continue on your way to keep traffic moving.
Afternoon Pick Up
Students may be picked up on the school side of Oak Street. Drivers should pull their vehicle up to the curb, moving as far forward as possible, toward Wyatt Avenue.
If you will be meeting your student at the building, please park in a parking area, away from the loading and unloading zone on Oak Street. Please designate a consistent door or landmark outside to meet your student and communicate this to them.
Any parent or guardian wishing to come into the school building at the end of the day should enter through Door 1, after the bell rings. Guests should not come in through Door 2. This door is a student exit only.
Reminders
Please pay attention to the staff person working the Pick Up and Drop Off Zone.
Use crosswalks to cross the streets.
Crosswalks should not be blocked by vehicles at anytime for the safety of our community.
The St. Joe’s and St. Paul’s parking lots are not available for use by Jefferson families.
Parking: There are parking and no parking areas designated around the school building and surrounding streets. Please pay close attention to the signage.
