Welcome Jefferson Middle School students and families. I am honored to be your principal, and I look forward to getting to know each of you throughout the year.

I am pleased to introduce our dedicated assistant principals, Michele Hamby, Sonja Hopkins, and Shaun Trepal, who are all here to support your educational experience.

Our Commitment

At TJMS, we are committed to helping each student achieve their highest potential. Our exceptional faculty is ready to provide engaging and challenging instruction to ensure every student can thrive. We believe in a student’s right to a quality education and are dedicated to creating a supportive and enriching learning environment.

Communication and Resources

Effective communication between school and home is vital for student success. Here are some tools and resources to help you stay informed and engaged:

School Website: Visit our website for important announcements and other resources.
Student Agenda: Each student will receive an agenda to track classwork and homework daily. Parents are encouraged to review the agenda regularly to stay informed about their child's progress.
Team Packet: Students will bring home a Team Packet with important communications. Please review this packet on the expected dates listed on the front.
Parent Portal: Access your child’s grades and attendance records through Parent Portal.

We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead. Together, we will empower voices and inspire futures!

I will be available for Meet and Greet with students, parents, and families at Open House in the Auditorium from 4-6 pm on August 7th.
