Patriot Folders
Patriot Folders will hold information from Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, Louisa County Parks and Recreation, and special notices from us about our 5th grade classrooms.
Folders will come home everyday.
Please check folders daily for important forms and graded work.
Money
When sending money with your child to school, please send it in labeled with its purpose
Please send in the exact amount needed. No change can be made at school
Checks should be made to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School unless otherwise written on flyers/notices sent home.
For lunch, it is helpful to write the student number on the check
Transportation Changes
If changes need to be made, you should call the office by 12:00 pm or send your child with a note. Your note will be sent to the office and a bus pass will be given to your child at dismissal. Please include your child’s first and last name.
PLEASE do not email or call in transportation changes during the day to the classroom teacher. Contact the main office at (540-967-0492).
Absences and Tardies
If your child is absent from school, please send a note when he/she returns explaining the absence. This note will be turned into the office. Missed work must be returned within 3 days of your child returning to school.
Please also make sure that your child is at school on time. Tardy students miss important morning directions and lessons and disrupt the class.
Chromebooks
Chromebooks will remain in classrooms this school year. Students will not be bringing them home.
Face Coverings
Face coverings are optional.
Breakfast/Lunch
Thomas Jefferson Elementary will be participating in the national School Breakfast and Lunch Program’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that all children enrolled in Thomas Jefferson will receive a healthy breakfast and lunch, each day, at no charge
Breakfast will be Grab and Go this year; students can choose from the available meals upon entering into the building; they will continue to eat breakfast in the classroom
Lunch will be in the cafeteria this year

All ice cream will be pre-paid per semester for $15.
All students who have paid will be allowed to order ice cream on Mondays.
Ice cream will be delivered to the purchasing students’ classes on Friday. If school is closed on Friday, ice cream will be delivered the next day school is open.
If students are absent on Mondays, we will order ice cream for them based on the choice indicated on the form.
If students are absent on Fridays, they will not receive ice cream that week.
