About
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where students will develop a lifelong love of learning and acquire the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to become responsible and productive members of our community.
Our Vision
To foster and create a supportive learning environment for every student every day.
In this culturally diverse school, each day begins with a message welcoming all students to do their best: “Good morning, Jefferson Elementary School, ‘nyaw zhong', 'As-Salaam-Alaikum', ‘Buenos Días.’ At Jefferson Elementary School, we will be safe, respectful, and responsible. Now, please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.”
As staff, doing our best is a promise we make to our students every day.

PBIS
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. It is dedicated to teaching and encouraging safe, respectful, and responsible behaviors. We celebrate students for making positive choices that align with our school expectations. When a student needs assistance in meeting these expectations, we provide guidance to help them learn the appropriate behavior. If necessary, an Office Discipline Referral (ODR) may be issued, but our primary goal is to support each student's growth.
Achievement Gap Reduction
The Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) program, established by the Wisconsin State Legislature in 2015, is an initiative to close achievement gaps and foster student success. Schools participating in AGR have the opportunity to implement one of three effective strategies:
-
Reducing Class Sizes: This approach allows for more individualized attention, ensuring that each student feels supported and engaged.
-
Providing Instructional Coaching for Teachers: By enhancing data-driven practices through coaching, teachers can deliver even more effective instruction and support for their students.
-
Offering One-to-One or Small-Group Tutoring: This targeted support helps students receive the personalized assistance they need to excel academically.
Title I
Title I is a federal program that provides money to school districts to help children become successful learners. The purpose of Title I is to provide extra educational services for children who need additional help to be successful in school.
