About Our Programs

Academic Interventions/Title 1:  Title 1 is a federally funded program to help schools assist students with educational needs.  Jefferson currently has three Title 1 teachers as well as two Title 1 paraprofessionals.   This team provides services for students in the areas of reading and math.  Students qualify for Title services based on specific academic needs, teacher input, classroom work, and FAST testing.  

Behavior Interventions: Jefferson Elementary is a PBIS school that utilizes a five-point, color-coded scale to categorize student emotions and behaviors. We also promote 10 Core Skills that our help our Jefferson Eagles SOAR. Jefferson employs a Behavior Interventionist, School Counselor, and School Social Worker to help support students' needs in behavioral and mental health. In addition, Jefferson contracts services through Greater Minnesota to provide onsite behavioral and mental health support for individuals during the school day. Together with collaboration from parents, teachers, and administration, this team works to provide individualized interventions to meet each student's unique needs.
