WE CAN DO HARD THINGS AT JEFFERSON!

Just some action shots from around Jefferson! We Can Do Hard Things because we BELIEVE we can!

LUNCH MENU!

Mr. Kuch's Message

As I write this, it sure is freezing outside! Hopefully, this is the last little blast of cold that we have; however, just in case, just a reminder that Jefferson has coats, gloves, hats, and boots for those who may need it! Just reach out to us in the Main Office, or your classroom teacher for assistance!

Show Your Love for Jefferson!

Well, it's that month when all love is to be shown, and we are asking you to share the love about Jefferson with everyone you know! One of the things that I have learned about Jefferson in my short time here is that this place is fantastic! The staff works their hardest to ensure students will grow to a grade level or more academically and socially by providing the resources, instruction, and care that each student needs. However, sometimes that hard work does not show up on different websites!

So what I am asking of caregivers and staff is to review Jefferson on Google and our Facebook page to let everyone know how fantastic Jefferson really is!

On Google, there is one one-star review from six years ago! All you need to do is click the link below, go to the right-hand side and click, "Write a Review", and SHOW YOUR LOVE!

On Facebook, of our 706 followers, we have 0 reviews! So if you go to our page, click on the Review button and SHOW YOUR LOVE!

Side note! Student cell phones are not allowed to be used in the building. If a student needs to make a contact home, they can do so in the main office and use their phone. This is due to some privacy concerns that have become an issue. Thank you for your understanding!

Jefferson Students RISE UP!

Our next RISE UP! assembly is Friday, February 10th! In this all-school assembly, we learn about a trait from our RISE Up plan (Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Excellence) and celebrate students who have shown those characteristics! Here are a few photos of how we celebrate!

Also, Students Earn All School Rewards by earning Rise Up tickets! Those tickets go in a tube by the Main Office, and once it is filled, we celebrate! Students earn Rise Up tickets by individually showing they are Respectful, show Integrity, are Safe, and Pursue Excellence!

As you can see, next up is an ALL-SCHOOL DANCE PARTY!

PTA News and Notes

Our next PTA Meeting is Thursday, March 2nd at 2:50 in the LRC!

Jefferson is Getting A BOOK VENDING MACHINE! Just like Bluff! Students will earn the opportunity to get a Free Book by following our RISE UP! plan! One student from each class will get this award monthly! The vending machine will be restocked with money from our Book Fairs, PTA, and Donations.

Here is the one at Bluff!

We have some FUNdraisers coming up in May! More details to come, but we will have an Applebee's Day on May 2nd and a Walk-a-Thon later in May!
