Thomas Jefferson Family Blog 2/16/2018

Hello Thomas Jefferson Families!

        We have completed another amazing week here at Thomas Jefferson.  Our second through fifth graders have begun their third round of assessments.  Please encourage your Star to do their personal best!  This assessment information informs our teacher's instructional practices and next steps in providing differentiated instruction for the students in their class. 

    We also celebrated Valentine's Day in true TJ fashion!  I do not think I have seen so much chocolate in all of my life!  Thank you all very much for the recognition of our staff with your generous treats and gifts.  I know that we all feel extra loved!

     As we wrap up the month of February we have our monthly awards assembly next Thursday and Read Across America Week the week of February 26th.  Please continue to collect pennies for our Pennies for Patients drive, our goal is $3000! I am sure that we can do it!

    Once again thank you so much for your continued support of our Stars and our school!  It is a great day to be a TJ STAR!
Warm regards,
Kirsten Acke
Principal
