Picking Students Up After School

To ensure the safety of all students, there is no pick up of students on the north side of Jefferson (Lussier side). Students must be picked up on the south side of the building (Memorial side). This only applies to the end of the day dismissal. If you are picking up your student for an appointment during the day, please use our new office entrance on the north side. Thank you helping us. 

Recogida de estudiantes después de las clases

Por razones de seguridad, ya no se puede recoger a los estudiantes en la puerta del lado del norte de Jefferson (al lado del centro Lussier). La recogida de los estudiantes a partir de ahora va a ser en la puerta del lado de Memorial. Esta regla solo vale para el final del dia, despues de que terminen las clases. Si usted tiene que recoger su hijo/a durante el día por razones de cita o algo semejante, por favor utilice la nueva entrada al lado de la oficina. Muchas gracias por su cooperación.

TJMS is proud to celebrate Black History Month recognizing and honoring the contributions of African Americans. Did you know that Black History Month originally began as “Negro History Week” in 1926 created by Carter G. Woodson. In 1976, it became a nationally recognized month-long celebration. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. 

This month we will have several opportunities for students and staff to celebrate, acknowledge, and learn about Black History. Our Black History assembly is scheduled for February 22, 2018 @ 1:42 PM. 

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. -Nelson Mandela

We look forward to celebrating this important month with students and families!

Kindest regards,

FACE Action Team

La escuela intermedia de Jefferson está muy orgullosa de celebrar Black History Month - el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana. ¿Sabia que el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana empezó en el año 1926 con el nombre “La Semana de la Historia Negra” y fue creada por Carter G. Woodson? En 1976 fue convertida en una celebración nacional de todo un mes. A este propósito se eligió el mes de febrero para que coincida con los cumpleaños de Frederick Douglass y Abraham Lincoln.

 

Este mes tenemos varias oportunidades para los estudiantes y el personal de celebrar, conmemorar y aprender sobre la Historia Afroamericana. Nuestra asamblea de Historia Afroamericana está programada para el 22 de febrero de 2018 a la 1:42 de la tarde.

 

“La educación es el arma más poderosa que puedes usar para cambiar el mundo”. -Nelson Mandela

¡Tenemos muchas ganas de celebrar este mes tan importante con los estudiantes y las familias!

Un saludo cordial del equipo FACE

***Thank you for a wonderful 6th grade orientation on January 30th. It was a packed house and we enjoyed meeting all of our future Jefferson students!***

Throughout January Mrs. Lodholz and myself went into every homeroom and reminded the students about the requirements in the BEP. We focused on the fact that we are a "Respectful, Responsible, and Safe" school. In order to achieve this, all students have to work together. In addition to the list below, we reminded students to keep hands and feet to themselves. Play fighting is still fighting and will be treated as such. Also, we reminded students to walk in the halls and to make sure they are under control so they do not accidentally hurt anyone. Please let us know if you have any questions or if your student reports anything to you regarding safety concerns.

-We have an "Off and Away" policy during the day for cell phones. Please remind your students to be off their phones during the day and focus on learning.

-It is against District policy for any videos or pictures to be taken on electronic devices without the permission of the school.

-Now that we have snow on the ground, please remind your students to not throw snow. It is a safety issue for students that comes with serious consequences.



- Mid year MAP testing is complete as well as ELL ACCESS testing. We have an incredible staff that worked diligently

Media Corner

There are so many different social media sites, it is often difficult to keep track of which sites are safe or age appropriate for your student.  The website, www.commonsensemedia.org has helpful information and a link listed below for your review.

What are the basics my kid needs to know about social media?

Social media is a variety of tools and methods for interacting and communicating with others online. Some popular social media tools include Twitter , Instagram , Facebook , and Snapchat , and each of these offers a different way to share information, connect with friends, or collaborate. For many users of social media, online and offline social life is one and the same and includes similar highs and lows. What's really unique about social media is how it can enable users to instantly reach a wide audience, giving kids an opportunity to magnify their lives in a way that's different from the offline experience.
