As a reminder for tonight's Parent Support Night at Jefferson Elementary, one adult may attend per family and no children may attend in order to maintain social distancing during presentations. Teachers will be unable to conference with parents individually. The intent of tonight is to answer questions regarding technology, classroom expectations, work completion, and/or learning expectations. If you have specific concerns that need to be addressed regarding your child, please contact the teacher directly by phone, email, or Seesaw. Thank you and we hope to see you tonight.

Website update coming: We are planning to take advantage of some new features available for our district website. The menu and navigation will be very much the same, but we’ll have greater ability to add high profile links when needed for easy access and we’ll have a new spotlight to feature students and their accomplishments.
Look for the changes on 10-01-2020.
