Hello!
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Shaffer Elementary. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our amazing school community, and a special thank you to the families who entrust us with the sacred task of educating their children. Our teachers and staff look forward to working with you to make this the best school year for you and your family.
Jeffco is truly a forward thinking school district full of many unique and diverse learning opportunities, but one of the characteristics of Shaffer that sets us apart is that we take being a Leader in Me Lighthouse school very seriously. At our core we believe that every child, every person can be a leader and has a unique genius. We believe that all students can initiate and sustain the change they want to see in the world and we empower them to lead their own learning. We also partner with families and the community to develop the whole person because we believe that education is more than providing excellent instruction in reading, writing, and math. Students who attend Shaffer are not only given the skills to achieve academically but also tangible tools to make, achieve, and celebrate their own personal goals.
Being the principal at Shaffer is the greatest job in the world. Everyday I get to work with a group of insanely talented and dedicated professionals who believe in students and each other. Everyday I get to spend time with some of the most impressive and creative students I have ever encountered. We are very proud of this place, and we appreciate you taking the time to learn more about our school. Please reach out if you have any questions or additional interest in Shaffer Elementary.
It’s a great day to be a Pioneer!
Ben Kellerman
