Teacher Support

Three simple ways to make sure Jefferson teachers have what they need — chosen by the teachers themselves.

School or office supplies arranged on a table, including a ruler, a protractor, colored pencils, pens, a yellow highlighter, a box of erasers, graph paper, a notebook, and a box of colored pencils.

Teacher Wish Lists

Classrooms go through a lot — tissues, hand wipes, pencils, all the everyday stuff that runs out fast. Jefferson teachers keep a running list of what they're low on, so you're never guessing what to grab.

Even one small purchase can make a student's day a little easier and a teacher's job a little smoother. Browse the list and see who needs what.

DonorsChoose

Jefferson teachers use DonorsChoose to request everything from classroom library books and science supplies to art materials, flexible seating, and hands-on learning tools. You can fund all or part of any teacher-created project in just a few clicks.

Keep an eye out for Double the Impact days, when eligible donations are matched dollar for dollar.

Staff Lounge

Once a month, FOJ coordinates families to stock the staff lounge with coffee, drinks, snacks, and a few favorite treats. It's a simple gesture that goes a long way toward making Jefferson's teachers and staff feel appreciated.

Sign up for a slot to help restock the lounge, or feel free to drop off supplies in the front office anytime.
