Our first month at San Juan Elementary has been full of learning, laughter, new friendships, and exciting firsts! Our Dragons have been busy getting to know their teachers and classmates, learning classroom routines, and discovering all the wonderful things this school year has to offer.
We are incredibly proud of the way our students have jumped into the school year. Every day brings new opportunities to learn, grow, make memories, and show what it means to be a San Juan Dragon!
LEARNING, GROWING & SHINING
Our classrooms have been full of creativity and curiosity! Students are learning new skills, practicing classroom expectations, building friendships, and discovering that learning can be fun.
From reading and writing to math, science, social studies, art, and hands-on activities, our Dragons are off to a fantastic start!
OUR SAN JUAN COMMUNITY
A great school is built by a great community. Thank you to our families for partnering with our teachers and staff, encouraging your children, and helping make San Juan a welcoming place for everyone.
Together, we can help every Dragon feel safe, supported, valued, and ready to learn.
