We would really appreciate it if winter would get out of here, or at least get in the 30's! But that's ok, because our motto is, "WeCanDoHardThings!" We will keep braving the weather and keep getting better each day! Here are our Morning Announcements! Also, don't forget to buy your Yearbook!


Thanks to those who braved the cold last night and chose the Jefferson Wellness Night! We doubled our turnout from last year and had a great time learning about wellness activities for the mind and for our bodies! We thank all the vendors who made it out as well! Here are our Morning Announcements for today! #WeCanDoHardThings!

Where have all the Attendance Champs gone?! Well, unfortunately, they weren't posted! We are sorry for the delay with these pictures! Here are our most recent Attendance Champs for Jefferson! Look at all those smiles! #WeCanDoHardThings






Yep! Today, we have school! We hope to see everyone on time and ready to go! Tomorrow is our Rise Up! Family Wellness Night from 4:30-6:00pm! Please join us to learn about Wellness from the mental health side, as well as the physical side! #WeCanDoHardThings!



Huge shoutout to our amazing School Resource Officers on National School Resource Officer Day! We have three of the best that help our students, staff and caregivers with care and consideration. Thank you to Officers Akins, Haskell and Robertson!

Love is in the air this Valentine's Day, and hopefully not the Flu! We hope today is filled with love and compassion for each other!

It is a 2HR Late Start schedule this morning, but NEW is that we will have a small breakfast for kids starting at 9:15 until 9:38! Stay warm out there and see you soon! #WeCanDoHardThings

Virtual Day for Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12th! Please email the classroom teacher for any questions you may have related to the structure of the day. If you need a hotspot, please call the District Administration Office! #WeCanDoHardThings

Hello, Tuesday, where have you been? It's been a week since we saw you last! Essentially, I am running out of creative ways to share the Morning Announcements, so here they are for Tuesday! #WeCanDoHardThings!

Well, all we know is that our Monday will be way better than the Super Bowl for the Chiefs and their fans! Here are our Morning Announcements for Monday! #WeCanDoHardThings!

Happy Friday, everyone! Here are our Morning Announcements! #WeCanDoHardThings

Good morning,
We regret to inform our students and caregivers that due to the 2-hour late start this morning, we will not be able to make it to the hockey game in time for its start. While this is not the announcement we hoped to make, safety must come first. The untreated roads remain slippery and pose a significant hazard to travel.
We understand the disappointment of missing this opportunity as a school, and we share that disappointment with you. However, we are actively working with the Quad City Storm to explore options for either transferring tickets to a future game, offering a full refund, or providing another solution for those affected.
As a school team, we are committed to finding another way to reward the students who were looking forward to this experience. We will keep you updated and share more details as soon as possible.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We were hopeful the weather would cooperate, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Morning Announcements are attached.
Thank you for your support and flexibility. #WeCanDoHardThings

We are gearing up for our Storm Hockey game tomorrow! We are excited for all of our students who earned that opportunity! But first, we need to get through today! We hope the impending ice storm doesn't interfere with our plans! Here are the Morning Announcements for Wednesday! #WeCanDoHardThings

Did you see our Rise Up! Winners for January in our newsletter? If not, here is your chance to recognize the pure awesomeness of these kids! Congrats! Great job, Jefferson! #WeCanDoHardThings!








Good Tuesday! Welp, yesterday was a rough one for attendance, as we finished the day with 87% when our regular rate is 94%! Please take good care of each other, as it looks like it is our turn with the flu, etc! We are taking extra steps here to disinfect door handles and other high-touch areas! Be well! Morning Announcements are attached! #WeCanDoHardThings
