Message from the Principal

Welcome Back Juniper Families!

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year at Juniper Elementary! We are thrilled to have our students back on campus and ready for a year filled with learning, growth, and new opportunities.

This year, students will continue to benefit from a strong academic program, Expanded Learning Opportunities, and the expansion of AVID Elementary into grades K–2. Through AVID, students develop important skills such as organization, goal setting, collaboration, perseverance, and self-advocacy that support success in school and beyond.

At Juniper, we are committed to creating a school culture focused on our core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Safety. Our goal is to ensure every student learns and demonstrates these values each day through positive relationships, clear expectations, and opportunities to grow as caring, responsible, and successful learners.

We also value our partnership with families and encourage you to stay involved by attending family events, Coffee with the Principal, ELAC, and SSC meetings. Your support and involvement help make Juniper a thriving school community.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Together, we will make the 2026–2027 school year a year of growth, achievement, and joy for every Juniper student.

Welcome back — we can’t wait to see you!

Monique Martinez
Principal, Juniper Elementary School
