Principal discusses as student in raises hand

Welcome to Jeffers Elementary!

At Jeffers Elementary, we inspire a lifelong love of learning, build meaningful relationships, and empower every child to reach their highest potential. Recognized as a State Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, our campus stands as a beacon of academic achievement, positive culture, and character development.

Our foundation rests on being HEART Smart—teaching and modeling Honesty, Empathy, Achievement, Respect, and Thinking. We believe that a positive, respectful environment allows children to feel safe enough to take intellectual risks and celebrate one another's successes.

  • Core Academics & Enrichment: Beyond foundational literacy and mathematics, our students thrive through rich experiences in STEM, visual arts, music, and physical education. These programs spark curiosity and nurture the whole child.

  • A Community Effort: Great schools are built on strong partnerships between staff, families, and community members. We encourage you to be an active part of our school journey.

Thank you for visiting our digital home. We are proud to share the story of growth, discovery, and joy happening at Jeffers Elementary every day.

Warm regards,

Dr. Kristen Dewitt
