August 2010

Dear Schalmont Families,

Welcome to Jefferson Elementary School. We look forward to another school year filled with many smiles, memories, and learning opportunities. Jefferson is a special place for learning. Our staff and students are very caring individuals who help to promote a very proud culture within our building. Whether you are new to our building, or returning, we ask that you join in with us to make our school even better.

As you may all be aware of, there are many changes happening in education at the state level. There are changes in testing, curriculum, and accountability for all stakeholders. We will do our best to keep you all apprised of these changes and how they relate to your child’s education. Be assured that student achievement is our top priority. Our teachers are a dedicated and talented group of individuals. Throughout the summer months, they have attended workshops and have begun to plan for a new school year. As parents, you also maintain a crucial role within your child’s academic development. Our partnership is an essential ingredient in your child’s education.

The first day for students is scheduled for Wednesday, September 8. Please remember to visit the Jefferson Web site for the latest information throughout the year. Also, please be reminded of “backpack” Wednesday each week.

We look forward to seeing you all on the first day of school.

Sincerely,

Mr. Gifford, Principal

Mr. Thompson, Assistant Principal
