Welcome to Thomas Jefferson Elementary Middle School!

I am excited to be an active part of this strong and successful school community. As the principal of TJEMS, I work hard to foster a safe and positive learning environment where all students experience high quality instruction, high expectations and a commitment to excellence from all staff members.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary Middle school is an official Excellence in Gifted and Talented Education (EGATE) School, an awards program to recognize PK-12 Maryland Public Schools with gifted and talented education that are aligned with Maryland's Criteria for Excellence. We are also partnered with Young Audiences as an official Arts Integration School to provide educational arts assemblies, workshops, residencies, and teacher professional development programs.

As an official City Schools Blueprint Intensive Learning Site for Social and Emotional Learning, we strive to support student needs with their day to day challenges using strategies directly aligned with the CASEL framework. Our students are encouraged to make positive decisions based on their understanding of Self-Awareness, Self- Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.

I chose to be a part of this community and I’m elated that you decided that our school will meet your needs. I look forward to working with you, your child and the school community to ensure success for all.

Sincerely,
Principal Davis
