PRINCIPAL

Mrs. Jennifer Schlapia has been the proud principal of Jefferson Elementary for the last 7 years.  She began her career in OPS in 1998.  After teaching special education and 6^th grade, she began her administrative path.  She spent several years as the assistant principal at Indian Hill Elementary before becoming the principal here at Jefferson.  The 2022-2023 school year starts her 25^th year in OPS!

Mrs. Schlapia's mission is to lead, encourage and inspire children and adults to become life-long learners!

In Mrs. Schlapia's free time she enjoys spending time with her family and dogs!   She is super excited to bring her dog Catie to school as she is Jefferson's new therapy dog!
