School staff and resources will be available during the walkthrough to answer questions about the facilities and projects being discussed.

Ozawkie, KS - The Jefferson West Preschool received a $3,000 competitive grant from the Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS).
"We’re excited to share that our preschool received a grant to fill our library with new books for students to check out, take home, and enjoy with their families! The grant will also help supplement our classroom curriculum. We’re grateful for this support and excited to grow a love of reading in our students!" -Mrs. Lloyd
"Jefferson West Preschool is excited about growing our preschool library with the NEKLS grant. Preschool is foundational in making academic progress and a great library is an important "brick" in that structure. Our Tiger Cubs will benefit from this grant and the reading opportunities it brings. Thank you NEKLS for helping us grow our preschool program." - Mr. Sturgeon

Calling any and all Healthcare related occupations. Are you a Doctor, nurse, CNA, Med Tech, SonoTech, or anything Healthcare related? (too many to list)
JWHS has two Introduction to Healthcare classes this year. Each student will research a healthcare career of their choice and present the information to the class. Students will reach out to a professional (in September or January) to ask them questions about their duties, education and advice as they consider the career. All we need is you and your expertise.
Please click on the google form link and input your information and the information will be shared with students. Here the link : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGBRW7cZrdX87U4JsWpylugKwtnJLFAID1hfFficjrHgA1WQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=112770430766925089209
