Welcome to James Elementary School! It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to an amazing school year at James Elementary — home of the Jaguars! As we begin this new year together, we take a moment to celebrate a huge accomplishment from last year: we increased our school grade to a C (3% points from a B)!  This success is a direct reflection of the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of our scholars, staff, families, and community. It is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together when we work hard, stay focused, and believe in our vision.

This year, we’re moving forward with greater determination and higher goals under our theme: “Challenge Accepted!”  We know our Jaguars are ready to ROAR and make this year our best yet. Our dedicated staff is prepared to inspire, teach, and impact every scholar.  We are committed to creating a safe, loving, engaging, and enriching learning environment where each scholar knows they are valued, supported, and capable of achieving the goals set for them.

To our incredible scholars, staff, families, and community partners, thank you for being a part of our success. Your involvement and partnership is vital and very appreciated. We encourage you to become more involved this school year. 

I ask every parent/guardian to ACCEPT the CHALLENGE to ensure your scholar attends school daily and is on time to be their very best this year.  Let’s make this school year unforgettable!  Challenge Accepted. Let’s go, Jaguars!

With Jaguar Pride,
Angela Livingston
Principal, James Elementary
