Dear TJMS Patriot Families and Community,

As principal of Thomas Jefferson Middle, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another great year at TJMS. We are all excited to have students back in our classrooms and hallways filling them with energy and enthusiasm for learning. It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and a part of our TJMS Family. Additionally, we strive to challenge each student to grow in their academic abilities. At Thomas Jefferson Middle, we have great teachers who spend hours planning and creating classroom activities to engage our students in learning. Our teachers utilize research-based best classroom practices and analyze academic data to determine current skill levels and to set goals for growth and improvement. 

We hope that you will find our website helpful and informative. All of the information we send out via email can also be found on this site. In addition to weekly emails, families receive weekly phone calls with important information for the week. We also have a Twitter account (@TJeffersonMS ) that we will use to send out updates and quick announcements as we go through the school year. 

I am honored to serve as the principal of Thomas Jefferson Middle School. It is truly a privilege to be a part of a community where parents, teachers and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth. 

Once again, welcome back! Let’s make it another great year at Thomas Jefferson Middle School! 

Sincerely,

Shane O’Neal

TJMS Principal
