In partnership with our community, the mission of Jefferson Elementary School is to provide all students with a safe, stimulating, child-centered environment that prepares them to become productive and contributing citizens in an ever-changing society. It is our objective that each student, faculty, and staff member at Jefferson Elementary be exposed to quality educational experiences that will ensure that they reach their maximum potential and become life-long learners.

Announcements

This Friday, November 10th, we would like for everyone to wear purple to show our support of Veterans Day. Why purple? Because purple is a blend of red and blue. When our all-volunteer military men and women enlist to serve our nation, they don't sign up to serve a red state or a blue state, or one political faction but not another, they serve America.
