Welcome!
Welcome to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School!
We want to provide educational and character-building opportunities for students, parents, teachers and administrators by working together to develop academic and social skills for present and future success.
Talented Students
Art, music and physical education are an important aspect of education at Jefferson.
Students attend classes on a rotation schedule.
Community Schools
Union Public Schools is committed to strengthening children, families, and communities. Our Community Schools support student growth and achievement while also creating strong ties among families, students, schools, and communities.
Our Mission
We at Jefferson Elementary will strive to achieve our personal best as we become life-long learners by showing respect, acting responsibly and behaving safely.
Before & After School
The Extended Day Program (EDP) provides safe, alternative educational child care, enhancing the child’s extended day. Recognizing the busy lifestyles of today’s family, the district attempts to work in partnership with home and parents by providing before and after school supervision at the school site.
Active PTA
Jarman has an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that works closely with school administration and teachers to promote a positive school experience for all students.
