Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year at Jefferson!
Dear Jefferson Families,
It is with great excitement and heartfelt joy that I welcome each and every one of you back for another incredible school year! My name is Mrs. Claudia Florez, and I am truly honored to return as your Principal for the 2025–2026 academic year. Whether you're a returning member of our school family or joining us for the first time, I want you to know how grateful I am for the opportunity to serve and support this vibrant and diverse community.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the remarkable spirit that makes Jefferson such a special place—a school where students thrive and educators inspire in our collective success. I’ve seen students rise to challenges with determination, teachers go above and beyond to create meaningful learning experiences, and families partner with us in powerful ways. It is this sense of unity and shared purpose that fuels our school’s growth and achievement.
As we begin this new school year, we remain deeply committed to fostering a culture of excellence, equity, and joy. Our top priority continues to be providing high-quality instruction in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential.
To our returning students, I can’t wait to see your smiling faces, hear about your summer adventures, and continue the incredible progress we’ve made together. You are the heart of our school, and I know this year holds even more chances for you to learn, lead, and grow.
To our new students and families, welcome to Jefferson! We are thrilled to have you join us. Transitioning to a new school can be both exciting and overwhelming, but please know that we are here to support you every step of the way. You are now part of a caring, committed community, and we look forward to building strong relationships with you throughout the year.
Let’s make the 2025–2026 school year a memorable one—filled with discovery, collaboration, joy, and achievement. I’m so excited for the journey ahead and confident that, working together, we will make this our best year yet.
With warm regards and great anticipation,
Mrs. Claudia Florez, Principal
