Dear Thomas Jefferson Families and Community,
My name is Jennifer Deslaurier and I am humbled and honored to introduce myself as your Thomas Jefferson Principal for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. I can assure you that I share your dedication to caring for students every day while providing them with a consistent, equitable, and unified learning environment. My priorities are high-quality academic instruction, social-emotional health, and safety for every student.
Previously an Assistant Principal, teacher, and EL specialist, I join Thomas Jefferson with 22 years in education. My family has lived here in Placer County for 15 years, and our three children attend local schools. My husband and I both volunteer in the community and appreciate what our area offers.
My door is always open as I value conversation and input. I look forward to meeting you and becoming part of the Rising Star family! Thank you for welcoming me to RCSD, and I will see everyone in the fall.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Deslaurier
The PTC is happy to announce our partnership with 1st Day School Supplies. If there were ever a year to order your school supplies early, this is it!
No longer is purchasing a back-to-school supply kit a luxury, it is a necessity. With all the supply chain issues it is the only way to order back-to-school supplies for next year.
We have personally found 1st Day School Supplies to be convenient, easy and hassle free! Plus, they have guaranteed our school the impossible to find and highest quality brands like Ticonderoga, Crayola, Elmers, Fiskars, Purell and Clorox.
Thank you to everyone who signed up to help on field day.
We still have a few spots open.
Thomas Jefferson needs your help!
Our Fire Works booth needs 18 volunteers a day to be a success!
This is also our biggest fundraiser for the next school year.
Please see the Sign Up Genius for spots.
