Jefferson Elementary School provides a warm, nurturing learning environment for Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade students. Jefferson is located in a cozy community setting; right next door to the Cammack Village Police Department.
Our staff teaches from a curriculum based on the latest education models in combination with the basic "three Rs". Students have access to K-2 enrichment, a gifted program (3rd - 5th), classroom computers, SmartBoards, a spacious media center with a mini-lab and many books, full time music and art programs, speech and resource assistance and a licensed professional counselor. Jefferson also offers the STARS Tutoring Program for K-2 reading and a computer-based Accelerated Reading program.
Our mission at Jefferson Elementary School is to empower all students to reach their highest potential academically, emotionally and socially in an increasingly technological world, while providing a positive, safe and nurturing environment.

Jefferson Elementary students can expect to have music instruction often - Pre K has music once a week for 30 minutes, K-3rd /twice a week for 30 minutes and 4th-5th/one hour a week. Each student is graded on content skills based on the Arkansas Frameworks for music. They will receive at least four letter grades per nine weeks which will be posted on ed-line.
JES loves music! Rules and procedures are established during the first couple of weeks of school. We practice CPR: Cooperate, Participate, and Respect!
Jefferson students are encouraged to have fun and enjoy PE! To achieve this, they are expected to participate to the best of their ability in our activities. Each month, students will receive a "Health at Home" calendar. JES encourages parents and siblings to complete the calendar activities together!
JES is focused on being fit. In addition to Physical Education classes, there is also a Patriot basketball team and spirit squad.
Jefferson Elementary has been the most wonderful experience for my family. There is an incredible community of parents and teachers who work together to provide the kids with the very best educational and enrichment experiences. There is no other school public or private that I would wish for my children to attend. Jefferson really is the best! John & Jena Selva
'When our son started kindergarten last year, we had just moved into the neighborhood and weren't sure what to expect. The Jefferson community made a huge point to make us feel welcome. Our student loved his teacher and made some amazing friends! He was incredibly excited to come back to school this year; we couldn't ask for more.' Kat & Karl Hills
We have had a great experience at Jefferson. Our teachers and the staff have been very helpful and informative. There is always an activity to get involved in as parents which helps us feel like we are setting our student up for success! Rachel & Kris Knox
After touring Jefferson as well as some of the private schools in the area, the choice to send our children to JES was an easy one. We are so grateful to have a wonderful, neighborhood school with caring teachers and staff. We have experienced individualized instruction, tailored to suit our son's needs. He has grown and learned so much already in his time at Jefferson. Cassie & Ryan Solomon
