Answering your most heroic questions...
🦸♀️ What supplies does my child need?
At Jefferson Elementary, Wood County Schools provides all necessary school supplies—because every hero deserves the right tools! However:
*A backpack is recommended to send items to and from home.
*A water bottle with a locking lid is encouraged to limit hallway traffic.
*Sneakers are a must for gym (2–3 days a week) and for using the mulched playground equipment.
🚫 Crocs, slides, and open-toe shoes will not be allowed on playground equipment for safety reasons. Students in those shoes may play on the field or walk the track instead.
