The Positive Behavior Interventions and Support Team has been getting together each month to discuss data that students present with academics and behaviors we can assist with during the school day. We are seeing great success with the interventions we are implementing school wide! With our return to school we will have all classes reteach the school expectations within the building and on the playground. This review will help students be successful in remembering how to behave in different situations while within the building. Please take a few moments to discuss with your child the different rules/guidelines that they need to follow at school (in the classroom, hallways, bathroom, playground, etc.) and talk about how they are the same or different from the rules you use at home! Thank you again for your support!

A huge THANK YOU to NebraskaLand Bank for helping us provide a Back to School Luncheon for our Staff. We appreciate your thoughtful donation as we gear up for a new school year!

Our Wild Card Room was a success this last year! We look forward to implementing new themes in the 23-24 school year!

Our Parent Teacher Organization is looking for new members. We have meetings every other month and plan fundraisers and fun activities for families to enjoy together. We will post more information as the upcoming school year approaches. If you are interested in finding out more before the school year starts, please email our PTO President Randa at jeffersonelementary@ymail.com.

We’re so excited to offer summer picture days again this year! We hope to see all North Platte students and staff – every grade, every building, every person! Scheduling your family's school picture session not only saves you time, but allows parents to be part of the fun (and ensures guardian-approved smiles!). Give us a week after your pictures are taken, and you'll be notified that photos are ready to view and order – that means no paper order forms to remember, and no paying for pictures before you see them.

Even if you don't plan on ordering, all students are required to have an updated picture with us (that means you, too, seniors!). The images we capture are used by the district, safety personnel, yearbook staff, and more. Secondary students who see us this summer will have an updated photo on their school IDs – otherwise it'll be last year's photo.

Incoming seniors – we'll be doing booster club banner (commons area), senior athlete showcase calendar, and yearbook/ID photos these days as well. You only need one appointment. Please visit nebraskaportraits.com/senior-info for more details.

When: Tue, Aug 1 and Wed, Aug 2

Where: North Platte High School commons area

Who: ALL North Platte students and staff

How to schedule: visit go.nebraskaportraits.com/npsummer and reserve ONE time for your entire family (even if you're in multiple grades or buildings)

Questions? Text 308-530-0579 or email info@nebraskaportraits.com

See you this summer!

Here at Jefferson Elementary we have Character Counts punch cards for each quarter. Earning punches on the Character Cards happens through receiving DoJo points and when caught doing the right thing. Those students who receive 10 punches on their quarterly Character Cards turned them in to Mr. E. At the monthly assembly the students receive specific prizes for their punch cards. The students who turned in all 4 of their Character Cards for the year received a special Character Counts T-Shirt from Mr. E.

Way to go!! We are so proud of you! Go Jefferson Jaguars!!
