Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Jefferson Elementary, an outstanding campus serving nearly 600 students in grades K–5 within the Temple Independent School District!  Our dedicated and experienced staff works diligently to ensure that each child reaches his or her maximum educational potential in a loving and nurturing environment. We assist students to progressively accept more responsibility for self-discipline, to develop self respect, to contribute to the community, to develop a love of learning, and to strive for excellence.


We invite you to visit our school and hope that you enjoy your time with us whether you are volunteering, eating lunch, or visiting your child's classroom. Our desire is to work with you in providing your child the very best education in a supportive and caring learning environment! If you should ever have concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to call or schedule an appointment at 215-5500.
