NEXT WEEK IS READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK - We are looking forward to keeping the TJ tradition alive, while it will look a little different it will be a week of fun!

We are still in need of Community Readers! If you would like to volunteer please email Mrs. George at treasurer@thomasjeffersonptc.com

Don't forget our Read Across America Spirit Week Spirit Days!

Music Corner
Don’t forget to do your music lessons every week! In February the music team went to sea with a video animated by our very own Mrs. Sugano. In March we will feature an Irish folk song called The Rattlin’ Bog. We hope our lessons inspire your family to make music together!
All the best,
The RCSD Music Team

Grades 3-5 CAASPP State Testing Information

We have been notified by the Federal Government that the children in grades 3 -11 in California will be participating in the California-mandated state testing (also known as the CAASPP test) this year.

If your child is currently attending in-person school they will do the testing at Thomas Jefferson, and if your child is in the Champions Academy, they will be receiving different instructions about how to take the test in a remote environment.
