Jefferson Area teachers from Lumberg Elementary, Edgewater Elementary, Molholm Elementary and Jefferson Junior/Senior High are leading an effort to wrap the community around the local schools. Over the next few weeks they are leading a series of forums to listen to the community.
Here are more details on their efforts:
What are Community Schools?
Community Schools is a concept that is exploding across the nation; bringing educators, support personnel, administrators, students AND community together to create the schools our kids deserve.
What do Community Schools offer?
Six pillars for student success:
