As we close out National Principals Month, we celebrate our incredible team of leaders who guide teachers and students with one goal in mind: Tiger Success.
Thank you for the countless hours, care, and commitment you pour into our schools every day. 💛💙






All Veterans eat for free!
If your Jefferson student has a Veteran in their family, we would love to recognize them in our Veterans' Day slide show.
Please email the following information to Mrs. King:
📸 A photo in official uniform and a current photo (if available)
🪖 Name of the Veteran
🎖 Military branch
📅 Rank, honors, years served, or any other relevant details (optional)
👧 Name of the Jefferson student related to the Veteran
If you shared this information last year, Mrs. King still has it!
Please send a quick confirmation email if you would like to be included in this year’s slide show.

Jefferson Monthly Reading Challenge
October-April
Calling all readers!
We've just launched a school-wide reading goal to build a strong
community of readers — and have some fun along the way!
Here’s how it works:
-Read each month from October through April. Follow your grade level
guidelines
-Complete and return your grade-level Reading Log by the end of each
month
-Turn in ALL 7 logs to be invited to our BIG end-of-year celebration!
This celebration will be something you definitely don’t want to miss out on!
Think fun, surprises, and a whole lot of excitement to reward your amazing reading
journey!
Let’s make reading a habit and celebrate your hard work in a BIG
way!
Start logging those minutes — every book, every page, every month
counts! Help us reach our goal of 100% participation!





Because it was teaching the class to spell “chrysanthemum.” 😂
