We hope you are enjoying the long weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, February 20th.


Last week was filled with so much LOVE & KINDNESS. Thank you to our entire community for helping our students feel seen and cared for during Kindness Week!


Last week we also received some BIG news, Jones Elementary has been recognized by the State of California as a Purple Star school! 44 schools across the state and 6 in San Diego Unified have been recognized for 2024! The Purple Star Award recipients are recognized as schools who are committed and best equipped to meet the needs of military connected students and their families. Congratulations Jones Dolphins!


This coming week is going to be an exciting one... On Friday we have the Jones Jog-A-Thon! This year's theme is Jone Dolphins have HEART! Wear your red, pink, and purple as we jog for a good cause, our school! Check out the video below for a glimpse into last year's Color Jog-A-Thon. This event is made possible by our PTA volunteers, thank you for all of your efforts behind the scenes to make the Jog-A-Thon happen for our community!

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.
