Principal's Voice


Welcome to the home of Dr. Jaysen Anderson, 

Principal of Bloomington Jefferson High School

Parent/Guardian Message for April 24, 2024


Greetings Jefferson Families!


I hope this message finds you well as we begin to wind down the school year. It has been an amazingly positive year, and I could not be more proud of our students and staff. Below you will find a handful of items for your review and planning.


PGP/Pathways. BPS offers a comprehensive program for career and college planning known as PGP (Personal Growth Planning) and Pathways. There are activities students must complete in Canvas each year, and we remind Seniors and senior families that completion of these activities is a graduation requirement. Please contact Becky Wallerick with any questions on this topic. 


E-Conferences. As we are in the middle of the trimester, you should be receiving updates from your student’s teachers on their progress. We call this two week window “E-Conferences” as a direct effort to inform and connect with families about their students. Additionally, please reach out to your student’s teachers with any questions or concerns.


Parent-Teacher Conferences Feedback. It has been many years since we have reviewed how we approach parent-teacher conferences at Jefferson High School. Our current model includes traditional “in person conferences” in the fall, and then “e-conference” communications in the winter and spring. I invite you to complete the following BRIEF FORM to provide any feedback.


My Replacement. You may have heard that this is my last year as Principal of Jefferson High School, and that next year I will be taking over as Principal of Eden Prairie High School. This has been the best eight years of my professional life, and I could not be more thankful for my time here. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mitchler will be leading the process for my replacement so please look for communications from her office for updates. 


Calendar. A few important upcoming dates to keep in mind:



Go Jags!


Jaysen Anderson, Principal
