Dear Jefferson Families,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year at Jefferson Elementary School! It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal. On behalf of our entire team, I’d like to take this opportunity to greet our newest Jefferson Eagles and welcome our returning families to what promises to be another terrific year in the storied history of this special school!
2020-2021 marks my fifth year at Jefferson, my fourteenth overall in the East Penn School District, and I’ve never been more proud to be part of this fantastic community. We strive every day to make Jefferson a place that is safe and supportive for everyone who walks through our doors. Once inside, you’ll find hallways and learning spaces filled with dedicated, caring, and empathetic individuals, students and staff members alike, collaborating to create equitable and inclusive classroom cultures that are genuinely warm and welcoming and overflowing with rigorous and relevant learning opportunities designed to maximize student potential and nurture a lifelong love of learning.
We hope you’ll visit us between North and Elm Streets in Emmaus to celebrate our students’ many successes with us. Additionally, we invite you to connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for regular updates on what’s new and exciting at Jefferson and to catch a glimpse at how the youngest members of this incredible borough are already making this world a better place.
In the meantime, please let us know how we can support you and your families. If I can personally be of any assistance, my door is always open. Please feel free to stop in, call me at 610.965.1645, or email me at dhinkel@eastpennsd.org. This is such a special place, and I’m honored to join you on your Jefferson journey again this year. We’re all so thrilled to soar into this exciting new school year with you!
Sincerely,
Mr. Drew Hinkel
Principal
