Principal's Welcome

Dear Families and Friends,

It is an honor to introduce myself as the new principal of Jordan-Elbridge Dynamic Intermediate School (JEDIS) and Jordan-Elbridge Middle School (JEMS). I welcome you with great pleasure to an exciting year of learning at JEDIS and JEMS. The 2023-2024 school year will be one of adventure, inquiry, celebration, and friendship.

As your new principal, I look forward to getting to know each student and family, personally. I’ve been blessed to be part of the Jordan-Elbridge educational community since I began teaching here in 2016. Every JE member - be it bus driver, teacher, parent, or neighbor- has contributed to creating a positive and welcoming learning environment in which all of our students will thrive. I am thrilled to lead this journey with you as we embark on a new year together.

At JEDIS and JEMS, our energized staff is known for building positive relationships and for crafting a personal and rigorous learning experience for each child. This year, our students will engage in thought-provoking, meaningful curriculum that will prepare them for the world ahead. They will also build strong relationships, develop personal character, and embody qualities of lifelong learning through the Positivity Project at JEDIS and the Learner Profile at JEMS. Through these experiences, we are devoted to our district’s mission of cultivating the best in personal growth and achievement.

I wish you all a happy and safe summer as you refresh your minds and reinvigorate your spirits in preparation for another great year. Please contact me in the meantime if you’d like to talk. I would love to hear from you!

With pleasure,
Alexis Farnsworth
JEDIS & JEMS Principal
