August 1, 2023 Dear Tiger Family! As the summer is quickly winding down, our staff is working hard to plan for another great school year. Much like celebrating the New Year, we experience the same feelings as educators as we start a new school year. That excitement never fades for our educator families. As you may have heard, we spent a lot of time listening to students, staff, parents, and surrounding areas about how we can continue to make the Jeff West community even better. You may be asking yourself why this is important. Our community schools are the economic engines of our Kansas communities and the most significant investment in our future generations. As you may have heard, the legislature changed the laws governing how parents can choose which public school their children will attend starting next year. Here in Jefferson County, we proudly have six community school districts serving our communities. For those outside of Jefferson County, they don't understand the impact our beloved community districts provide to our families and patrons and they want to see this changed. Now, for the first time in K-12 public school history in Kansas, we will have to start competing for students much like our public universities have done for many generations. Our family of staff has been working hard to adapt to the ever-changing landscape facing our public school systems. With that, we have taken all the information and began to work on improving the areas where we most need to improve. You will see many more things completed next year based on that feedback, leading to our theme, Reason to Believe. With that in mind, we must ensure we are ready to tell the world how wonderful our community and schools are here at Jeff West so we can save the communities our past generations have built. Our board of education has worked hard to position our district to be ready for the new changes we will face with the 2024-2025 school year. We want to make it easier for students and parents to receive communication from us and to better align our district functions to best support student success. As a parent and patron, we want to ensure that the Jeff West experience is great across all aspects of the district, by better aligning policies and expectations. I look forward to joining you as we share our Reason to Believe. Wishing you and your family a great rest of the summer and a very successful new school year. I look forward to seeing you at one of our many great activities. It's always a great day to be a Tiger! Jason
