Thomas Jefferson Elementary School
Message from The Principal
Dear Jefferson Families,
I am delighted to welcome you all to Jefferson Elementary School! I am excited and honored to continue my journey as the principal of Jefferson and am looking forward to another fantastic year with you and your children.
Our primary focus at Jefferson Elementary School will be to ensure a safe and engaging environment while we address the academic, emotional, and physical well-being of our students with families at the center of all that we do. It is our goal that your child feels connected and valued as a contributing member of our school community.
I am eager to serve our students as they continue to learn and grow as kind citizens and hard-working scholars. I know that through a strong home-school connection and collaboration, we will ensure that our Jefferson Eagles engage in meaningful learning opportunities and have a successful school year! We cannot do the work we do without you, and each year we strive to strengthen our home-school partnership. I welcome you all to attend a coffee chat, school site council meeting, PTA meeting, or attend a Family Day event. Jefferson is so fortunate to have a wonderful parent and school community, and your support makes such a difference. Thank you for your continued help in making Jefferson an amazing place for students and families to grow and learn.
The Jefferson Staff is ready to work and assist you with anything you need. Please let us know how we can serve your family’s educational needs in the coming school year. Should you have any questions or need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
In gratitude,
Becky Dougherty
