Still counting down...
Today we honored Mrs. Hisey with a flag ceremony! Mrs. Hisey is retiring after teaching 3rd grade at Jeff West (in the same room!) for 24 years. She has inspired many students in her time here and we wish her the best in retirement!
Due to the weather forecast for rain in the middle of the day and severe storm chances increasing at 4pm throughout the evening, tonight's softball games have been postponed. The Monday & Tuesday schedule will now be a Tuesday & Wednesday schedule.
Counting down....
Make plans to attend a come-and-go retirement reception as we honor retiring USD 340 Jefferson West staff members on Tuesday, May 20. The reception will be held at Jefferson West High School, 4-6pm.
A BIG TIGER ROAR of thanks goes to Steve Buss, Judi Hisey, and Sarah Weishaar, for their many years of service and dedication to Jefferson West.
TIGER ROAR!!!

It's graduation day for the Class of 2025! Congratulations!!
Graduation is such a special time, both for the graduate and the people who love them! It marks an important milestone. It's a time of completion and recognition of hard work and achievement. There can be a lot of emotions, too – excitement, nervousness, and nostalgia as you close one chapter of your life and begin a new one full of opportunities, possibilities, and uncertainty.
Struggling to decide what to do after graduation is, and always will be, a sort of rite of passage to the next phase of your life. Like a parachute, your mind must be open to function. If you don’t like where you’re going, change direction. “The road to success is always under construction.” – Lily Tomlin
You and you alone are the only person who can live the life that writes the story you were meant to tell. You are your best thing, and we are sending you off on your next great adventure.
"Now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here." – Neil Gaiman
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
