Jefferson Elementary School

Welcome to our school website! ¡Bienvenido a la página de internet de nuestra escuela!

I feel fortunate to be able to serve as the principal of Jefferson Elementary School. I am deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of our children. Please know that my first priority is always to the kids we serve and ensuring that they are receiving a high, quality, instructional program. Jefferson is a great school that is filled with dedicated, hard-working staff. Every day we support students in their learning by pushing them to be critical thinkers and articulate scholars.

Jefferson School is implementing Common Core Standards and supporting all students with technology. We are also an AVID Elementary Showcase school, practicing AVID with all of our third, fourth and fifth grade students as well as piloting the program in second grade. Students are also learning the importance of being a good citizen by using their "PAWS." PAWS mean that we are Polite, Act responsibly, Work together, and Strive for success! Our students implement PAWS throughout the day both in and out of the classroom. Our kids are achieving successes every day!

It takes a team to help each student reach their maximum potential, and I am confident that together, every student will be a champion in learning!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Williams

Principal

Homework

Students will be given homework by their teachers on a daily or weekly basis. They may also receive projects throughout the year as well. If you are looking for your child to have additional practice at home please have your child access their Classlink account. There they have access to their ST Math account and other types of additional practice.

AVID Elementary

AVID Elementary is a program made up strategies that help students learn to their fullest potential. The AVID program also places high priority on college and or career readiness for students; many of whom may be one of the first members of their families to plan on attending college. Many elementary schools in Paramount Unified School District are beginning to participate in AVID however, Jefferson is the only elementary that participates in 4 grade levels and is an AVID Showcase school. We are proud to hold this honor and take our AVID status seriously! We strive to see every student reach their full potential while they are here at Jefferson and in their future as well!
