It is hard to believe we only have four more days of the 2023-24 school year! As the year draws to a close our students have been reflecting on a wonderful year of learning. We have been thinking about the goals we achieved as well as the goals we are still working on, how we persevered through challenges, the effort we put into our learning, and the fun we had along the way.
As a celebration of our learning, the Jones PTA creates a special afternoon at the end of the year known as the Jones Jamboree. This year the PTA brought the Extreme BMX Bike Show back to our campus for an incredible assembly.
If you are a PTA member, have come to PTA events, or participated in PTA fundraisers, you helped make this assembly possible! On behalf of all of our learners, thank you for your support!
Even as the school year ends there are many things happening over the summer at Jones and within San Diego Unified. Check out all of the information and resources below!
Pride Month is celebrated in June each year to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Each year the San Diego Unified Board of Education adopts a Resolution in support of LGBTQIA+ Student Safety affirming the District’s committed to safety, inclusion, and affirmation for all students through developing and coordinating activities, training, and opportunities for the SDUSD community. A month of observance is one critical component of our ongoing collective resolution to continue dismantling racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist dynamics and other forms of oppression within our school system in order to maximize the accessibility of our educational spaces and facilities for ALL students.
Each July students, families, and staff from SDUSD walk in the San Diego Pride Parade. If you would like to walk in the parade with SDUSD you can check out the flyer below and register here ...
Juneteenth celebrates the final emancipation of slaves in the United States and the persistent drive and determination to seek freedom, liberty, and equality in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation issued January 1, 1863, and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution which abolished slavery, except section 1, ratified by Congress on December 6, 1865.
The accurate representation of the contributions and experiences of the African American community were, for generations, and continue to be, systematically excluded from and misrepresented in history textbooks, mainstream media, and classroom discussions teaching San Diego Unified students about Black history and contemporary events is a critical affirmation of the fact Black history is American history. The San Diego Unified School District opposes and rejects any form of oppression and pledges to support the Black community and their intersecting identities by working to achieve genuine equity, access, and success for our students, employees, and communities which we serve.
SDUSD offices and school sites will be closed on June 19, 2024 in observance of Juneteenth.
