Dear Juniper Families,
I want to welcome you to Juniper Elementary School. We are located at the corner of Miller and Juniper in Fontana, California. Juniper serves approximately 900 preschool to fifth grade students.
Academics are a priority at Juniper, and it's our belief that all students can learn. Our teachers are highly trained and qualified to meet the needs of our diverse student population. Teachers are instructing students with state adopted curriculum. Juniper utilizes Open Court Language Arts and Scott Foresman Mathematics. We've found that with relentless focus on the California State Standards, our students succeed. Assessment is a critical component of our instructional program, and assessment data is regularly gathered and used to direct instruction in every classroom.
Respecting diversity is a key framework for programs and curriculum at Juniper. Drawing on our students' various ethnicities and cultural heritages provides our staff with unique opportunities to incorporate many different cultures and backgrounds in the curriculum.
Students at Juniper encounter a rich school environment enhanced by several extracurricular programs. Students have library and computer at least once a week. In addition 4th and 5th grade students have music and science enrichment once a week. All students have the opportunity to participate in Accelerated Reader and Success Maker throughout the week. Juniper appreciates your interest in our school and welcomes your comments.
Sincerely,
Adele Thomas
Principal
