Welcome Jefferson Jets.  I have been with the district since 1993.  My titles have changed over those years, from teaching in a therapeutic setting, identifying students for special services, Dean of Students with DMPS’s Alternative Middle and High Schools, Dean of Students with Smouse Elementary, summer school Principal, non-Release Dean of Students here at Jefferson, to currently with General Education Classroom right here at Jefferson since 2013.  Jefferson holds a very dear spot in my heart as I too attended Jefferson in 1972 in the first Kindergarten in the “new” building.  I have seen Jefferson grow from a neighborhood school, a magnet school with Edmunds (which I also attended), Traditional School (which my two daughters attended), to back to a neighborhood school (which my grandchildren now attend).   I have to say, with all my experience with education, by far Jefferson has been my favorite! I am truly happy that I chose to spend my teaching career back in the classroom with the exceptional students, families, and staff here at Jefferson.

Greetings, Jefferson Jets! My name is Meg Notch and for the past 30 years, I’ve been teaching everything from preschool to community college. Fourth grade is my newest adventure.  I’ve served 6 years as an Instructional Coach and finished my Administrative Degree in 2007. Among students, I’m best known for my varied classroom pets and weekly classroom store. With 8 adult children and 1 sophomore in High School, my world is full of love and adventure. Once you’re part of the “Notch Nest”, you’re always family to me.
