Today, we held our Career Day, in conjunction with our students “dressing for success” or as their future careers. What an awesome day, planned by our Special events committee at SJES. Well done!
Have you completed the Parent Learning Environment survey yet???
I have received 100 orange papers back, putting the first graders in the lead for an extra recess! My goal is to have at least 200 parents/caregivers who have completed the survey. (If you lost the paper, let me know—-I can get you the link. If you did the survey and can’t find the paper, you can send me a note stating that you completed it. It all counts!)
Thank you for taking the time to help us! Deadline is Friday, November 17th at 4 pm.

As we kick off American Education Week, we're excited to highlight and celebrate the incredible people in our JCS community who contribute to public education! Our staff, students, and families are the heart of our community, and we're grateful to each of you for your role in creating and maintaining a safe, enriching, and fun learning environment. Keep an eye out this week for #AEW2023 celebrations throughout our JCS community!
Remember: this upcoming week is American Education Week! A great time to send a thank you note to a SJES staff member who has touched you or your children’s lives. You have no idea how much a note of thanks means.

Today we take time to recognize Veterans Day with respect, honor, and gratitude to all who serve or have served in our nation's armed forces. Thank you!
A reminder that all Jefferson County schools and offices will be closed on Friday, November 10, in observance of Veterans Day.
Our 5th graders worked together, as part of their unit of study of the properties, structures, and interactions of matter as well as the basics of the language of chemistry, to separate matter (sand, gravel and ball bearings) using a magnet, spoon and a sieve.
Thank you to the Rawlings Family for your visit to South Jefferson’s Kindergarten classes on Friday! Who doesn’t love to see adorable baby goats and to take a picture with a cool green tractor!? This experience was a great hands on experience after our unit of study on farms.

Our students are excited to have Four Square courts back on our newly paved blacktop area! Thank you to Mrs. Burwell, Mrs. Moody and Mr. Atkins for helping to make this a reality! 🎉
Congratulations to Mrs. Zimmerman, kindergarten teacher, our SJES Employee of the Month. 🙌🏼💜 She was nominated by coworker, Mrs. Rouchard, for her patience and flexibility in supporting her students. Anyone who knows Mrs. Zimmerman knows that she goes above and beyond for every student. We are blessed to call her our colleague and friend! Congratulations! 🎉
#TGIF! JCS students across the district celebrated Red Ribbon Week with fun themes and activities related to this year's theme, "Be Kind to Your Mind." From "decade day" to "super training" their brains with crazy hairstyles to simply wearing as much red as possible, students had a great time showing their school spirit during this annual celebration of health and wellness!
Please feel free to come check out our 5th graders' artwork!
We’d like to thank the Cool Spring Nature Preserve for hosting our 2nd graders on an adventurous field trip, filled with snakes, turtles and exploring the great outdoors! What a magical combo—-7 year olds and nature!
Our Fall Fun Run is quickly approaching! On Tuesday, October 31st, our students will join together to “run” for a good cause: the support of our friend and PreK teacher, Mrs. Jamie Blake, who is heroically battling breast cancer, and for an opportunity to set physical fitness goals for ourselves. If you are so inclined, and would like to donate to our SJES Relay for Life team, in support of Mrs. Blake (and all other SJES community members affected by cancer), you can make checks payable to South Jefferson Elementary (we will accept cash donations, as well). This donation will go directly to the Jeff Co Relay for Life/American Cancer Society. Thank you!
