Jefferson West Students, Families and Patrons,
Out of an abundance of anticipation of celebrating a Chiefs Victory Sunday Night and the approaching strong red snow storm coming from Phoenix, there will be no school on Monday, February 13th. All regularly scheduled activities will continue as planned unless other forecasted weather impacts those events. USD 340 staff will be completing required professional development and required employee training remotely on Monday. Please enjoy this special time with your friends and family as we support our Kansas City Chiefs!

Today we celebrate Claudia’s last day with us at Jefferson West. She has given the district 24 years of wonderful service. We will miss her and wish her all the best as she enjoys the life of retirement. (There will be a public retirement reception on May 22nd for her and the other retirees of the district- stay tuned for details later in the semester.)
