Our goal at Jefferson is expressed in our mission statement: “At Jefferson Elementary School, we achieve tohigh standards by providing a meaningful and relevant education, preparing each of our students to be healthy, well-rounded lifelong learners and responsible citizens in a changing society.”  The focus at Jefferson is on the whole child – and on each child as a unique individual whose achievement and development will be supported by a reflective, responsive staff. Families play an essential role as partners in the education of their children, so please consider volunteering to help in your child’s classroom and/or with other activities around the school.
