Jefferson Administration

Welcome to Jefferson Elementary School!  I have the pleasure of being the Principal at Jefferson Elementary School within the Pierre School District.   The staff at Jefferson Elementary is honored to serve our students and families and help them achieve at the highest level.  We are committed to a culture of respect and excellence and it is our desire to see every student learning every day through teacher-led activities, collaboration, student exploration and independent work time and play.  

It continues to be critical for students to be on-time each day to learn the skills they need to be successful in life. When students are attending classes it's like opening a treasure chest of knowledge. Classroom interactions, discussions, and activities create a dynamic learning environment that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Regular attendance improves comprehension, encourages active participation, and fosters a sense of discipline that is indispensable for lifelong learning. Please make attendance a priority this school year for your child.

Students at Jefferson Elementary are engaged in learning, developing as leaders, and showing kindness and respect to all.  We believe in a Positive Growth Mindset and a “YET” attitude.  We also strive to establish a welcoming culture at Jefferson Elementary School.  Students are provided with meaningful and enriched educational experiences and are challenged so they can reach their greatest potential.  We will continue to work with the great community of Pierre to enrich our student’s lives and our wonderful community.

As your Principal, I am eager to serve you, our students, parents and staff at Jefferson Elementary School.  Please call 605-773-7320 or send an email to bill.kaiser@k12.sd.us if you have any questions or concerns.
