With the weather changing so drastically and quick, I wanted to take the time to address winter wear needs. We have heat at Jefferson but even with that, the temperature greatly differs in each room without our ability to adjust individually. Please be aware of this when you dress your child this week and upcoming winter. They will definitely need a coat, gloves, and hats everyday for outside recess. We will go outside as long as the windchill is above zero. Before we know it, they will need snow pants and boots otherwise they will be required to stay on the blacktop. Thanks for your help in making sure our students are prepared!

We had the best time at the All Schools Assembly for homecoming. We love when all of our students and staff can get together to celebrate together! Some of our second graders participated in the hula hoop game and they did awesome. Go Red Devils!
After our assembly this week, we had three extra Dino-mite classrooms who got the grade level trophy. Way to be Dino-mite Mrs. Corder, Mrs. Barthel, and Miss Geiger’s classes!
The Jefferson PTA will be meeting tonight at 5:30 in the Jefferson Gym. Please join us to learn more about the organization and how to get involved to support our school!
Next week is homecoming for our district! Jefferson will be participating in dress up days for anyone who would like to participate. Of course, participation is not necessary. It's going to be a great week!
Don’t forget that today is picture day! Remember to wear your best smiles!
We’ve already got some incredible creations happening! Look at this awesome castle two of our kindergarteners built together! #dinomites

We have some changes here at Jefferson. I am so excited to announce that Mrs. Schultz will now be the counselor of Jefferson! Miss Geiger will now be teaching second grade. The first grade position is not yet filled, but you will be notified as soon as that changes. These staffing changes were not expected, but we are so excited to welcome new and returning staff to new positions. As always, our staff is going to rock it! We are going to have a dino-mite year!

Please make sure that your Jefferson student has a water bottle for school. Our students will have the use of water bottle filling stations from Superior Water, but will not have access to water fountains. Please make sure to send a water bottle that securely closes with your child. This allows for significantly less water spills. Thank you for your help with this!

I wanted to send out an update about the water situation here at Jefferson and the start of the school year. School will start on the scheduled first day of school, either the 17th or the 18th depending on your child’s grade. The state has approved the temporary use of the current well until the cistern system is ready. When the cistern system is ready, the water will be switched over. This temporary solution of the use of our well will allow our school to start on time instead of canceling school for the first couple of weeks. Drinking water stations, with water from Superior Water, will be used throughout the school as they have been for the last couple of years. We are so thankful the state has granted us this option to minimize the impact on our community. This school year is going to be amazing and we are so excited to get started!
Best,
Caroline Coovert
