Estimadas familias de James John,

No estoy seguro de quién dijo esto “.La vida sólo puede entenderse al revés; pero hay que vivirlo hacia adelante”.Mientras reflexiono y miro hacia atrás en el año escolar pasado, agradezco a todos por permitirme ponerme en mi lugar de administrador, soñar con nuevas posibilidades y amplificar todo el potencial que aún tenemos por liberar. Casi no puedo esperar al nuevo año.El comienzo es la parte más importante del trabajo.Y apenas estamos comenzando: ¡salud para el año 2024!

¡Que todos ustedes tengan una maravillosa vacacione y un feliz año nuevo!

Con mucho aprecio,

Mr. Castillo

Interim Principal

Dear James John Families,

Not sure who said this, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards”. As I reflect and look back at this past school year - I thank everyone for allowing me to lean into my admin shoes, dream about new possibilities and amplify all the potential we have yet to explore. I can hardly wait for the new year - beginning is the most important part of the work and we are just getting started - cheers to 2024!

May all of you have a wonderful Holiday Break and a Happy New Year!

With much appreciation,

Mr. Castillo

Interim Principal

Please be mindful when picking up and dropping off your students. We have had several people park and/or stop on the cross walks. This is very dangerous. Please make sure to park on the correct side of the street and away from any marked cross walks.

Thank you for protecting our students and families.

Tenga cuidado al recoger y dejar a sus estudiantes. Varias personas se han estacionado y/o detenido en los cruces peatonales. Esto es muy peligroso. Asegúrese de estacionarse en el lado correcto de la calle y lejos de los cruces peatonales marcados.

Gracias por proteger a nuestros estudiantes y familias.

At James John Elementary, our staff is committed to taking a collective responsibility to educate the whole student to achieve their highest academic and social potential. We are committed to providing inclusive spaces that nurture strong relationships with school staff and peers to allow students to be themselves.

We will achieve our purpose by sharpening our reflective practices and develop our language around identity and culture to ensure students feel welcomed. We will examine our data driven instruction, curriculum and assessments to be aligned with what our students need to meet district and state standards - our student’s demographics will no longer be predictors of academic achievement. We are building the stepping stones for future leaders who will have the confidence to be innovators for a better future for all.
