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
