Jefferson School Home

The Union City School District is grateful to all the men and women who serve and protect our communities, especially our Union City Police Department. Today is the perfect time to show officers we understand how difficult their job is. It is important to show officers how much we understand their difficult work and appreciate their sacrifice and risk.

December was packed with cheer, smiles, and festive fun! Our Jefferson School students truly brought the holiday spirit to life, and we loved every moment of it.
Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making December so magical! We’re ending the year full of gratitude and cheer! ❄️💫

We are beyond excited to celebrate our Jefferson School Teacher of the Year Mr. Rodriguez🏆🍎 and our ESP of the Year Mrs. Acinapura 🌟🙌!

On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the 3rd state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and was admitted into the Union, with delegates from all 13 counties in New Jersey voting unanimously. New Jersey was nicknamed “The Garden State" in the nineteenth century by Abraham Browning, a Camden attorney, who stated, "the Garden State is an immense barrel, filled with good things to eat and open at both ends, with Pennsylvanians grabbing from one end and New Yorkers from the other.”

Happy Bill of Rights Day! Today, December 15th, commemorates the 1791 ratification of the first Ten Amendments to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing fundamental freedoms like speech, religion, and a fair trial, and reserving powers for the people and states, serving as a cornerstone of American liberty.

We are so incredibly proud of all of you and the hard work you put in this marking period. Your dedication, effort, and commitment truly shine through. Keep reaching for excellence—this is just the beginning! 🌟📚✨ Congratulations to all of our Jefferson Jaguar Honor Roll Students! 👏💙
