History
When the first Jersey Public School opened it received its name as a result of being located in the Village of Jersey in 1870. The school was a log building, located south of the Maskinonge River – (some called it the Jersey River). The second Jersey School was built in 1878 on our present site but this log building was destroyed by a fire. The third Jersey school was built in 1904. It was a one-room school house for students from grades 1-8. Jersey P.S. was officially opened in 1946. Additions were placed on the original school in 1954/56/59/69. In 2006, Jersey Public School was rebuilt and opened as it is today.
Our school motto is "Respectful, Responsible and Reasonable".
Our school mascot is The Jersey Hawk.
Mission
The mission of Jersey P.S. As a staff we believe: "The classroom environment should foster the acceptance of individual differences, co-operation and self-respect. A safe and caring environment enhances learning. Teachers should spend a major portion of class time interacting directly with students. A variety of instructional approaches are necessary to accommodate individual learning needs and strengths. Expectations of students should be high. Students share a sense of ownership in the school. Positive self-esteem enhances learning."
