Last week, we had the joy of hosting our final Achievement Awards Ceremony of the year! It was a beautiful celebration honoring the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students. We proudly recognized our multilingual learners who have been reclassified as fluent English speakers, celebrated 5th graders who met the FitnessGram goals, and highlighted students with excellent attendance, as well as those who have shown outstanding achievement in academics and leadership.

Taking time to notice, name, and publicly celebrate student growth is such a powerful part of building a learning community. These moments affirm our students’ efforts, build confidence, and inspire others.

This week marks the final full week of the school year and we will continue to learn, reflect, and celebrate all we have accomplished together.

The last day of school is Thursday, May 29th and we look forward to finishing strong as a community.

We are thrilled to share the incredible impact of our recent APEX Fun Run and Leadership Event! Thanks to your generosity, encouragement, and involvement, our students not only participated in a fun and energetic event but also grew as Future Leaders by learning valuable lessons in gratitude, respect, kindness, integrity, perseverance, and the importance of starting strong.

Here are some exciting highlights:

• School Profit Raised: $27,414.77

• Total Pledges Received: 859

• Student Participation: 175 of our 300 students received a pledge

• Total Laps Run: 10,743 laps = 671 miles

• Leadership Lessons Taught: 84

• Total Apex Hours: 300

• Apex Giveback Challenge: 43 students helped support local charities

• Pledges came from 40 states across the country

• 719 donors—22% of whom were parents and 78% were friends, family, and community members...thanks for sharing those links, it made a HUGE difference!

Thank you for helping us bring fitness, leadership, and service together to strengthen our school community. This success would not have been possible without YOU!

The PTA plays a crucial role in fostering strong family engagement at Jones Elementary. By organizing activities that bring families, students, and staff together, the PTA helps grow a stronger sense of belonging within our school community. These events not only strengthen relationships but also empower families to be active participants in their children's education, enhancing student success and building a supportive, collaborative school environment. Thank you for the leadership of our PTA Executive Board members, the volunteers that plan and execute PTA events, and all of you who participate! Check out what our PTA is up to...

TK enrollment has already started for the 2025-2026 school year. All TK applicants are guaranteed a placement within San Diego Unified School District. Jones has limited space for TK placements, once our classroom is full students will be offered placement at nearby schools that have space available.

*All neighborhood residents are guaranteed enrollment at Jones for Kindergarten-5th Grade!

Due to reduced grant funding space is extremely limited and priority has been given to eligible students per the ELOP grant for District Summer Programs.
