2023-24 School Year School Meal Prices
Did you know that a portion of the Federal Funding our schools receive is based on the Free & Reduced Meals Applications that are submitted by the families in our school district? This funding pays for Intervention Staff (Paraprofessionals/Aides), Intervention Programs, and helps us qualify for Grants for our schools.
Due to the increase in the cost of food items, our school board approved a small increase to this year's meal prices. As you will notice, there is a big difference in the cost of the "Free & Reduced Meals." In order for your children to qualify for FREE or Reduced Price Meals, parents/guardians MUST fill out a Free and Reduced Meals Application EVERY SCHOOL YEAR. If no application is received, the full price for meals will be charged.
The 2023-24 Free & Reduced Meal Application is NOW AVAILABLE. Parents/Guardians may fill out the online application or a paper application available at Registration or at the Lunchroom.
Free & Reduced Meal Online Application:

When we get closer to school starting and throughout the year, you will find the daily breakfast and lunch menus are the WJSD App and Website.
Also, our elementary schools have qualified again for the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Grant. Free fruits and vegetables will be available for students to snack on during their last recess each day.
Welcome to West Jefferson!
Ms. Day will be teaching in the High School and Junior High.
Please do not drive on our freshly resurfaced and repainted parking lot when it still has caution cones and tape marking off a section! Use consideration and common sense. If a caution cone has blown over in the wind, that does not mean you can drive over the top of it. Thank you.

Are you having trouble with all of this online registration stuff? We will still have In-Person Registration at the ALC Building for those who do not want to do it at home. You will still need to do the online portion, but we will have people at registration to guide you through it.
Mr. Gemar is working all this week for those who have questions about online registration or course selection. He is also making appointments for New Student Registration. davidgemar@wjsd.org or 208-663-4391
If you are just having trouble logging in to PowerSchool, you can contact our Tech Supervisor, Jon. reynaj@wjsd.org or 208-663-4542.
Several posts and emails have already gone out, but we are needing the last group of students to put in their course requests by the end of the day on Wednesday, August 2nd. After that, the students that didn't request classes will have random classes assigned to them.
Mr. Gemar is available to help with questions, but please check the posts/emails first to see if your question has already been answered. 208-663-6042 or davidgemar@wjsd.org.
STUDENTS, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR FRIENDS & CLASSMATES!
Students - I've been made aware that when you login to PowerSchool you have to create a new password. Please see the attached file that shows the instructions. Your current password is simply what you've been using to get into PowerSchool. Your new password needs to be 8 characters long and you'll input it twice.
