Welcome back to a brand-new school year at Jefferson Intermediate! I hope your summer was filled with joy, rest, and time with loved ones. As we open the doors to the 2025–2026 school year, I am excited to continue building on our shared vision ofexcellence, innovation, and community.
This year, we remain committed to:
-
Academic Growth: Our teachers are prepared to deliver rigorous, engaging instruction across all subjects. With strong alignment to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, students will be challenged, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential.
-
Leader in Me & 7 Habits: We will continue empowering students with the tools of leadership, responsibility, and self-confidence. Every child has genius, and at Jefferson we believe it can—and will—be activated.
-
Technology & Creativity: As an Apple Distinguished School, we embrace innovation through iPads, Macs, and creative learning experiences that personalize instruction and ignite student genius.
-
Positive School Culture: Through our Jefferson Houses, Dream Catchers assemblies, PBSIS “Pawsome Tickets,” and restorative practices, we will celebrate respect, responsibility, and resilience every day.
This year’s theme,“Achieving Excellence Together by Making Impact”, reminds us that the greatest successes come when staff, students, and families unite as one community. Together, we will continue to nurture a safe, inclusive environment where every Jaguar thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
I encourage families to stay connected through ClassDojo, school newsletters, and our upcoming events. Your involvement is vital, and your partnership makes all the difference.
Let’s embrace this school year with energy, high expectations, and Jaguar pride. I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to all that we will accomplish together.
With gratitude and excitement,
