February 21, 2020



Hello TJ Stars!!

Can you believe that we are entering the last week of February? Next week there will be a Minimum Day on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, for Parent-Teacher Conferences. 

Our TK Stars had a Learning Expo today and learning fun was had by all. They planted seeds, painted and enjoyed working with parent volunteers and their upper-grade buddies.  


TK Learning Expo
Our Kindergarten had an adventure to Green Acres, where they learned about plants and a local business.  Each Star was sent home with a plant to plant at home!

If you have not registered for the 2020-2021 academic school year please head over to https://www.rcsdk8.org/student-registration to do so.  Please note that registration for the upcoming school year is important because it informs our school staffing ratios.

Our hope with this blog is to try to keep it updated weekly so that you can be informed of upcoming events, news, happenings, and important information regarding Thomas Jefferson Elementary and the great experiences your child will be having here at our school this year. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Acke

Student Leadership is excited to once again support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Pennies for Patients program. Every student came home with a box to collect loose change or any donation you would like to donate and a flyer.  Please help us support this amazing organization that helps kids with cancer. This is the last week to donate to Pennies For Patients! Please Thank you all so much for participating.
