Jefferson Elementary

👑✨ Homecoming Spirit Days are almost here! We can’t wait to see our future Dukes and Duchesses showing their school pride all week long. Let’s make it a week full of fun, spirit, and smiles! 💜🎉

With Dixon pride, they lead the way, doing what's right every single day. They think ahead, they think anew, finding the best for students too! Supportive, kind, a teammate true, flexible, strong in all they do. With open hearts and minds that shine - the Spirit of DPS 170, by design! Way to go, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Ganze!

Before we kick off a brand new week, we want to take a moment to celebrate last week’s amazing PURPLE students! 💜 These Positive, Unique, Respectful People Learning Excellence make us proud every day!

Why does Attendance Matter? Because everyday counts—and so does your child!

When your student is in school consistently, they’re not just keeping up with lessons—they’re building strong habits, friendships, and the confidence to succeed. Missing even a few days here and there can make it harder to catch up and stay engaged. Regular attendance helps your child stay connected, supported, and ready to reach their full potential. Let’s team up to help them thrive—one day at a time! 🏫🎒📝
