Greetings Jerger Families,

Welcome to E.R. Jerger Elementary School.  Our school offers children and their families the opportunity to remain at one school from Pre K through 5th grade. This longevity allows parents to establish a nurturing and lasting relationship with their child's administrators, teachers, and staff. Fewer transitions between schools reduce stress and improves student success. During these early years, we provide age-appropriate play areas, small class sizes, and enriched learning.

E. R. Jerger Elementary School and the Thomasville City School System embrace a Literacy Vision and Mission. Emphasis is placed on best practices which include the use of graphic organizers, small group rotations, summarizing, note taking, formative/summative assessments, remediation, and acceleration. Our classroom lessons are designed to meet, extend, and enhance the GaDOE Standards at each grade level in each subject area.

Our students are involved in problem solving, critical thinking, and creating independent products which demonstrate mastery of the concepts. We are also dedicated to cultivating life skills in order to support our students who will become tomorrow's leaders.

All Thomasville City Schools are accredited by both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Accrediting Commission.

 

Sincerely,


Mrs. Emily S. Newman, Principal
