Hello Jeffery Staff & Community-
I am writing to share that I have accepted the position of Regional Coordinator Elementary Leadership and Learning for KUSD, effective July 1st, 2026.
This is both an exciting and bittersweet time for me. Jeffery has been my home for 19 years, and this was one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make. Every year here has been rewarding—and that's because of the extraordinary people I've had the privilege to work alongside.
The students, staff, families, and community of Jeffery are what make this building truly special. What you've built here is remarkable, and I will deeply miss being part of it each day.
To all our Jeffery Gremlins: Thank you for 19 years of inspiration. I've watched you accomplish great things—both here and far beyond these halls. Seeing our Grad Walk grow each year and hearing about your successes never gets old. Continue to be leaders, not followers. I know you can do hard things so keep doing the hard work.
To our staff: You are an exceptional team. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support you showed me during some challenging times over the years. Your dedication and support for our students is evident in everything they accomplish—and in the joy and positive memories they're building along the way. You're changing lives. Keep it up.
To our families and community: Jeffery is only what it is because of you. Our students thrive when our school and our families work together. The support you provide—both to our students/staff and at our events—is unmatched. Thank you for believing in what we do here.
As I move forward to support all of our elementary and K-8 schools across the district, Jeffery will always hold a special place in my heart.
Go Gremlins!
Principal Kurt Johnson
