The excitement is high at Jefferson today! 🎉 Some students are stepping through our doors for the very first time, while others are beginning their last first day at Jefferson.

Day One was filled with setting expectations, getting to know one another, building connections, and of course, HAVING FUN! 💙

We’re creating the magic from the moment our students step through the doors. Here’s to an amazing school year filled with learning, laughter, and memories! ✨📚

Tomorrow is the big day, and we are so excited to welcome all 547 students!

Safety is our top priority. Please watch this short video for a quick walkthrough of our arrival and dismissal procedures. A smooth traffic routine keeps our lines moving fast and our kids safe. See you in the morning!

What a great turnout for our pool party last week! Thank you to all of the families who joined us on a crazy weather day to enjoy some time together. A special thank you to the Muscatine Parks and Recreation team for opening the Aquatic Center for us after being closed for the day. We appreciate the community support for our Jefferson families! Please add your pictures in the comments!
