About Us
Welcome to Jefferson Elementary School, proud home of the Jeffy Pups! Our school community is known for fostering a fun and inclusive environment (and maybe a little for our genuine love of corndogs). We focus on making connections with every single student while nurturing academic growth and a sense of belonging.

We dare you! A few times this year, we will be sharing a Character Dare for you and your family to participate in. This first one is the Quality Catch-Up.
Invest 10 minutes each day this week right when everyone gets home to sit together and share about your day. No distractions, just full attention to what matters: each other.

What an incredible first day of school! Special thanks to Cowley College athletes and the Arkansas City Police Department for helping gives students a warm welcome. We reconnected AND made new friends. Here’s to a year filled with learning, unforgettable memories, and a whole lot of fun!
