Jefferson School Home

Please take a moment to read this very important message from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia T. Abbato concerning Independence Day. Thank you for taking the time to review.

The Thomas Jefferson School hosted a special parent brunch titled “Resilient Mothers: Eight Points to Strengthen Ourselves and Overcome Obstacles.” The event, organized by Nancy Francisco, our Parent Liaison, was designed to bring parents together, foster community, and provide encouragement and support. Featured speaker Trinidad de la Rosa, Life Coach, shared inspiring strategies for building resilience and overcoming life’s challenges. Parents enjoyed a welcoming atmosphere, meaningful conversation, and the opportunity to connect with one another. It was a wonderful way to finish the year.

The Thomas Jefferson School proudly congratulates our three distinguished retirees: Nadine Galasso, Juan De Armas, and Joel Morales. Each of them leaves behind a legacy of commitment, compassion, and excellence. We are incredibly grateful for the years they’ve devoted to our students and school. Their contributions have made a lasting impact, and they will be deeply missed.

Ms. Flores’ Pre-Kindergarten class celebrated the end of the year with a festive luau. The children wore leis, danced to Hawaiian music, and enjoyed Hawaiian-themed decorations. Families and staff joined in the celebration, making it a special way to recognize the students’ growth and accomplishments throughout the year. Congratulations to all our Pre-Kindergarten students!

The Thomas Jefferson School held a Kindergarten Celebration where students sang songs and received their end-of-the-year certificates in front of their parents and friends. It was a beautiful event that recognized their hard work and growth throughout the year. Congratulations to all our students! First Grade, here they come!

Students in Ms. Ortiz’s classroom held a Book Celebration to present a special class book they created together. Each student contributed their own writing and drawings to help complete the book. The project showcased their creativity, teamwork, and love of learning. Congratulations to all on this wonderful accomplishment!
