Welcome to Jefferson Academy's fourth year. Our building is "glowing" again this year due to the hard work of our dedicated custodians. Please encourage your children to help us take care of this beautiful building. I hope everyone had a fun summer break. With the start of a new year, we are excited about new third grade faces. I can't wait to get a chance to see all of you during the year. We welcome back fourth and fifth graders to continue their quality education. Attendance, testing, and discipline are the areas in which I work in the school. Attendance is a life skill that is important to success in any area of our lives. We will continue to monitor tardiness, absences, and early checkouts. Academic testing at the Academy remains basically the same with only date changes:
It is our goal to help each student here to the best he or she can be. Our Academy Dragon Agreements are posted throughout the school and in student agendas. These 6 statements are essential in providing a safe and respectful school for all students. Our administration, faculty and staff value the need for rules, routine, and rigor. With rules, students understand the limits. With routine, students will know the expectations. With rigor, students will best use their time for learning the curriculum. It is sometimes necessary, unfortunately, that a teacher makes an office referral for consistent inappropriate behavior. When a student is referred to the office, a parent can expect communication from one of the administrators (Mrs. Gurley, Mrs. Potts, or Mrs. Holloway). If I can be of
any assistance throughout the year, please don't hesitate to contact
me. Thanks again for continuing to support the Jefferson City
Schools System. Kelli Potts
