This is your go-to guide for navigating life at Jefferson West High School. This handbook is designed to provide important information about school policies, procedures, and expectations, helping students succeed academically and contribute positively to our school community. 

Inside, you will find details on school rules, attendance guidelines, dress code, code of conduct, and important safety and health information. The handbook also includes resources for academic support, extracurricular opportunities, and ways to get involved in school events. 

We encourage all students to read through the handbook, keep it handy throughout the year, and refer to it when questions arise.
