We are excited to kick off our SchoolStore Book Buddies Fundraiser! Through this fun program, students can earn adorable Ice Age Wildlife Book Buddies while helping support our school.

Students will bring home a special Book Buddy lanyard to share with their families. Family members and friends can participate through the SchoolStore program, and their support can also provide Caring for Classrooms gift cards that teachers can use to purchase books, classroom supplies, STEM resources, printables, educational materials, and more.

Students who participate can earn one of several fun Book Buddies, including Nibbles, Rusty, Dewey, Luna, Shelldun, Ranger, Scooter, and Fang!

Support our school. Support our classrooms. Encourage our students.
Every participation helps make a difference, and we are excited to see which Book Buddies our students bring home!

🚧 Capital Projects Update, July 8: Jefferson Elementary School

• Initial preparation work for asbestos abatement began on June 8, with the removal of asbestos-containing materials officially starting on June 15.

• As of July 8, the abatement contractor has completed approximately 70% of the asbestos removal process.

• Independent air clearance testing has been conducted throughout the project, and all tests have returned clear results, demonstrating that the work is being completed safely and in accordance with state and federal environmental regulations.

• Before staff and students can re-enter the building, the entire abatement process must be completed and the building must pass all final independent air clearance testing.

• Based on the current pace of work, we are optimistic that final clearances will be achieved and Jefferson County Schools will regain access to the building between July 17 and July 24.

• Once access is restored, additional renovation work will continue as scheduled, including classroom painting in areas where lockers and cabinets were removed.

The health and safety of our students, staff, and community remain our highest priority. We appreciate the professionalism and diligence of the abatement contractor and the environmental consultants who continue to monitor the project.

Jefferson County Schools remains committed to keeping our community informed as this important renovation project progresses. Additional updates will be provided as the abatement phase nears completion and the project advances into the next stage of construction.
