We have some changes here at Jefferson. I am so excited to announce that Mrs. Schultz will now be the counselor of Jefferson! Miss Geiger will now be teaching second grade. The first grade position is not yet filled, but you will be notified as soon as that changes. These staffing changes were not expected, but we are so excited to welcome new and returning staff to new positions. As always, our staff is going to rock it! We are going to have a dino-mite year!

Please make sure that your Jefferson student has a water bottle for school. Our students will have the use of water bottle filling stations from Superior Water, but will not have access to water fountains. Please make sure to send a water bottle that securely closes with your child. This allows for significantly less water spills. Thank you for your help with this!

I wanted to send out an update about the water situation here at Jefferson and the start of the school year. School will start on the scheduled first day of school, either the 17th or the 18th depending on your child’s grade. The state has approved the temporary use of the current well until the cistern system is ready. When the cistern system is ready, the water will be switched over. This temporary solution of the use of our well will allow our school to start on time instead of canceling school for the first couple of weeks. Drinking water stations, with water from Superior Water, will be used throughout the school as they have been for the last couple of years. We are so thankful the state has granted us this option to minimize the impact on our community. This school year is going to be amazing and we are so excited to get started!
Best,
Caroline Coovert
Class lists will be posted on the front doors of Jefferson tomorrow, August 2, at 4:00. We are so excited for the start of a new school year!

Our last day picnic was the best! Ms. Sharon and Mr. Jim had an ice cream surprise for them!

At Jefferson, we will be doing a send-off for our second grade students. On the last day of school, we will make a tunnel for our second graders to walk through for their last time leaving as Jefferson students. We want to celebrate them and their time with us. If you would like to join, please be ready at 3:00 since we dismiss at 3:10. Please leave space for our classes to line up on the walkway in front of the doors. Thank you for helping us celebrate our amazing second graders!
Mrs. Schultz’s class made Minecraft mosaics! Talk about amazing little artists! #dinomites

May 25 is Jefferson's Annual Field Day and we are looking for volunteers to join us! Volunteers will each be running a station while classes rotate with their classroom teacher. This helps the day to run smoothly and allows everyone to have a fun-filled day!

These students had a postcard written for them in the past two weeks for going above and beyond what is expected. We love celebrating and connecting with our students. What Dino-mite students we have here at Jefferson!
Happy May!!!! Please remember to check your child's backpack daily! Several classrooms will have fieldtrips and special days coming up!! This will be a fast and fun month!!
Jefferson is the reigning champ of the Battle of the Cans contest! Help us win and make an impact to help our environment by taking your cans to GROW for recycling! Happy Earth Month!
If you have an incoming kindergartener and missed the first screening, please call to schedule an appointment for April 29. This is important for all Glendive children planning to attend kindergarten in the fall for multiple reasons. It gives parents an idea of what they can start talking to their child about to help them feel more successful at the start of kindergarten. This also allows parents and students to walk through the school, meet staff, and feel more comfortable for the fall. By registering your child, it ensures we have the proper staffing for the incoming kindergarten class. Thank you for signing up for a screening appointment or calling for further instructions if you cannot make it! We cannot wait to meet more of our new little dino-mites! #jesdinomites

If you haven't already, please call to make an appointment for your incoming kindergartener! Our screening and registration is quickly approaching on April 1. We will need a copy of your child's birth certificate and immunization records to start school. This is a great time to get that done. We look forward to seeing you soon!
