Student-athletes must meet academic, behavioral and attendance standards in order to participate in after-school sports. Our student-athletes focus on the things that make a difference in their education and their team membership.
Middle school athletics and activities
- All students in middle school can participate in sports through the district’s no-cut policy.
- Students may participate in one sport/activity per season.

At Thomas Jefferson, we value standards of kindness and respect. We invite students and their families to come to the games and support our student-athletes. Students must leave campus after school and return at 4:30 p.m. to watch the games. Positive cheering and good sportsmanship are part of showing positive school spirit at Jefferson athletic contests! Students are to stay seated in the gym while the event is going on. Students may get drinks and use the restroom only at halftime or between matches. All other areas of campus are off-limits.
