Information for Jefferson Parents (2012-13)

Greetings, J-Hawk Parents and Students!

As we approach the start of a new school year, I hope your family is having a great vacation from classes -- but that you are also beginning to look forward to getting back into a the school year routine. This year school starts on Tuesday, August 21 at 7:50 a.m., and you probably have some things to get finished before that time!

The envelope that you recieved this summer contained several items (you can also find copies of those items in the sidebar on the right side of this page). Please take the time to go through each item carefully and follow the directions that pertain to each item. Items on white paper are information, and should be read carefully. Items on colored paper may need a response. Please attended to them in a timely manner to make sure the school year starts off as smooth as possible for you and your student. The envelope mailed home should include the following:

  • Information about Extended Learning
  • Fee invoice information
  • A letter from the Activities Office
  • An informational letter on concussions in high school sports
  • A form to join the Booster Club
  • A form for voluneering at Jefferson
  • Information about joining the PTSA
  • Information about how to purchase a 2012-13 Stateman yearbook
  • The district school calendar

Parking forms (Grades 10-12) and PART opting out forms (Grades 11-12) may be picked up in the Main Office starting on August 1st.

Please remember to take care of your student's fee payment for this school year. All students must pay a Consumable Materials fee of $79. You may use case, check, or credit card to pay this District fee. The fee covers the use of textbooks and materials in virtually all classes in all deparements, with the exception of music. Music teachers will explain the fee structure for their classes during the first days of school. You may pay school fees at any time, by we encourage you to do so this summer

There is NO SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST for high school students. Teachers will inform your student of their supply needs during the first week of school. Paper, pencils, and pens are ESSENTIAL for the first day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call Jefferson High School at 558-2435.

Sincerely,

Charles McDonnell
Principal, Jefferson High School
