Today we take time to recognize Veterans Day with respect, honor, and gratitude to all who serve or have served in our nation's armed forces. Thank you!
A reminder that all Jefferson County schools and offices will be closed on Friday, November 10, in observance of Veterans Day.
Our 5th graders worked together, as part of their unit of study of the properties, structures, and interactions of matter as well as the basics of the language of chemistry, to separate matter (sand, gravel and ball bearings) using a magnet, spoon and a sieve.
Thank you to the Rawlings Family for your visit to South Jefferson’s Kindergarten classes on Friday! Who doesn’t love to see adorable baby goats and to take a picture with a cool green tractor!? This experience was a great hands on experience after our unit of study on farms.

Our students are excited to have Four Square courts back on our newly paved blacktop area! Thank you to Mrs. Burwell, Mrs. Moody and Mr. Atkins for helping to make this a reality! 🎉
Congratulations to Mrs. Zimmerman, kindergarten teacher, our SJES Employee of the Month. 🙌🏼💜 She was nominated by coworker, Mrs. Rouchard, for her patience and flexibility in supporting her students. Anyone who knows Mrs. Zimmerman knows that she goes above and beyond for every student. We are blessed to call her our colleague and friend! Congratulations! 🎉
#TGIF! JCS students across the district celebrated Red Ribbon Week with fun themes and activities related to this year's theme, "Be Kind to Your Mind." From "decade day" to "super training" their brains with crazy hairstyles to simply wearing as much red as possible, students had a great time showing their school spirit during this annual celebration of health and wellness!
Please feel free to come check out our 5th graders' artwork!
We’d like to thank the Cool Spring Nature Preserve for hosting our 2nd graders on an adventurous field trip, filled with snakes, turtles and exploring the great outdoors! What a magical combo—-7 year olds and nature!
Our Fall Fun Run is quickly approaching! On Tuesday, October 31st, our students will join together to “run” for a good cause: the support of our friend and PreK teacher, Mrs. Jamie Blake, who is heroically battling breast cancer, and for an opportunity to set physical fitness goals for ourselves. If you are so inclined, and would like to donate to our SJES Relay for Life team, in support of Mrs. Blake (and all other SJES community members affected by cancer), you can make checks payable to South Jefferson Elementary (we will accept cash donations, as well). This donation will go directly to the Jeff Co Relay for Life/American Cancer Society. Thank you!

Brooke was recognized for always assisting with keeping the art room organized, helping “to make the art room a better place”. Brooke makes South Jefferson a better place by being a responsible role model and leader! Awesome, Brooke! 💛💜

Jefferson County Schools appreciates everyone's hard work during the first nine weeks of the 23-24 school year. As we calculate final grades, we want to inform you about a change in schedule. Report cards will go home on Monday, October 30, 2023, NOT this Friday as previously planned. Grades will also be available in Canvas. We appreciate your patience while we ensure all grades have been assessed and calculated.
Jefferson County Schools invites you to an informational meeting on Oct. 23 about the Standard Response Protocol we use in our schools and ways you can support student safety at home. Lt. Ben Williams from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department will present the information and answer questions. The event takes place at 5:00 p.m. in the Washington High School auditorium. https://www.jcswv.org/events?id=23365841
