What a rainy week! We are so proud of our Dolphin students, staff, and families for persevering in spite of the weather. Thankfully, we have sunshine in the forecast!


This week is Kindness Week at Jones and we cannot wait to see and feel the extra positive energy shared across our campus. Student Council created a special Spirit Week and

our PTA will be selling Friendship Grams before and after school Monday - Wednesday! Check out the flyers below for all the details.


Lunar New Year also begins this week and exploring the history and traditions of this festive celebration is a wonderful learning opportunity for our community. As students share and learn about the holidays of different cultures, we build connections and raise awareness of the meaningful experiences of those in our community. Learn more about Lunar New Year and how you can celebrate using the resources linked below in the "Additional Resources for Families" section or click on these resources from the San Diego County Office of Education.

While schools recognize Black History Month during February, we encourage your family to celebrate and discuss at home too. Books, music, art, and food are all wonderful ways to expose our students to different cultures and experiences. Check out these links for more ideas...

2024 Black History Month

2024 Black History Month

Understanding Black history is integral to understanding the history, issues, and the future of our country. One of the founding documents of this country, the United States Declaration of Independence, held that "all men are created equal." However, the long history and the impacts of enslavement, segregation, and redlining are still felt today.
