Dear Parents/Guardians and Students
ISAT testing will be taking place at our school this week.
Beginning Monday, April 8th, our third through sixth-grade students will participate in the ISAT (Idaho Standard Achievement Test) testing in Math and Reading.
Additionally, our fifth-grade students will also be required to take a Science assessment.
The ISA testing is an essential tool to measure your child's academic progress and provides valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement.
By participating in these assessments, we aim to ensure that each student receives the support they need to thrive academically.
To help your child perform their best during the testing period, I encourage you to ensure they get a good night's rest the day before the tests and have a nutritious breakfast.
Please reassure your child that these assessments allow them to showcase their skills and knowledge. They shouldn't be stressful and are shorter this year than last year.
Remind them to approach the tests calmly and confidently and to do their best without feeling pressured.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the ISAT testing or need additional support for your child, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are here to support both you and your child throughout this process. Thank you for your continued support in your child's education.
Mr. Johnson

Big thanks to Bikers Against Bullies USA -Idaho Falls for visiting West Jefferson School District today! Your message about standing up to bullying and promoting kindness resonated with our K-8 students. Let's continue to spread positivity and create a safe, inclusive environment for all.
We're thrilled to share that our 3rd-grade Wax Museum and 4th-grade Zoo exhibits were absolutely outstanding today! Huge thanks to our incredible students and dedicated teachers for pouring your hearts into making it a success!
The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) assembly for Terreton and Clark County sixth graders will be held Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in the West Jefferson Panther Den in Terreton.
Our featured speaker for this year's assembly will be Utah native Porter Ellett, a BYU graduate who has been with the Kansas City Chiefs organization for seven years. Porter was elevated to assistant running backs coach this season. The Chiefs won their third Super Bowl last month in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers. Porter’s motivational presentation will inspire all who attend. Parents and families are invited. Please be in your seats by 8:50 am.
Dear Parents and Students,
Starting Monday, elementary students K-6 will no longer have access to the microwave in the teacher’s lounge during lunch. This decision was made to alleviate the workload on our dedicated teachers.
We kindly ask for your support in this effort as we strive to give back to our teachers who consistently go above and beyond. By refraining from bringing lunches that require heating at school, we can help our teachers enjoy a well-deserved break without the added responsibility of monitoring or preparing student lunches.
We believe that this change will allow teachers to fully recharge during their lunch break. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in making this transition smooth and beneficial for everyone involved.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Kyle Johnson
