Our Learning Community...
It was a wonderful 1st week of school for our Jones Dolphins! Classrooms have been filled with excitement as students reconnect and make new friends. We know it is going to be a great year!
We hope your students are filled with things to talk about when they come home from school! Here are some great questions to ask your child throughout the week to get them talking about their day of learning...
- Tell me about the best part of your day.
- What were the kindest words someone said to you today? How did you respond?
- What were the kindest words YOU said to someone today?
- Did you try anything completely new today? Tell me about it!
- Did you have to think hard about anything today? What was it?
- Did you make any mistakes today? What were they and what did you learn?
- Is there something you would like to be better at? What could you do to make that happen?
- What's the biggest difference between this year and last year?
- What are you excited to learn about this year?
We are thrilled to welcome Tiffani Barthelmes to the Jones team. As many of you know our previous clerk Ms. Ruth Bustamante took an extended leave of absence to care for a family member. As that leave has continued, we will now have consistency in our front office with Mrs. Barthelmes.
Mrs. Barthelmes will likely be the first face you see when entering the office or the first voice you hear when calling the school. She is here to support questions you may have, daily attendance, new student enrollment, records requests, Independent Study Contracts, and so much more. She can be reached by calling our Front Office at 619-605-8800 or emailing tbarthelmes@sandi.net.

Here is a link to the San Diego Unified Food Services Website where you can find allergy and nutritional information on foods served at schools. Foods not found on our regular school site menu will be listed individually under the "Alternate Menu Items" section.
If you ever have general questions about the food services at school sites you can reach out to foodandnutritionservices@sandi.net. To connect directly with the Jones Cafe Manager you can email jonecafe@sandi.net (yes, that email is correct, there is no "s").
San Diego Unified is dedicated to fostering a vibrant, informed, and engaged community through the power of education and dialogue. To help our students to be collaborative communicators, socially-aware agents of change, and critically-thinking digital citizens, our nonpartisan SD Unified for Democracy project offers resources to develop skills to engage in civil discourse, identify bias and credibility, debate and maintain a focus on issues, and repair harm that arises from political rhetoric.
The link below offers resources and tools adults can use to engage with and learn alongside children and teens during the election cycle and beyond.
