Principal's Message

Welcome to Esther Jackson Elementary School!

As the proud principal of EJES, I am honored to serve a school that is truly the heart of our neighborhood. Esther Jackson is more than a school building. It is a caring community where students, families, staff, and community partners work together to ensure every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn.

We are proud of our strong tradition of excellence, including earning a 5-Star School Climate Rating, which reflects the positive culture, supportive environment, and meaningful relationships that make Esther Jackson such a special place. Our success is built on partnership with families, strong community connections, and a shared commitment to helping every child thrive.

Our mission is simple and powerful: Where Learning Leads the Way!

Every day, we strive to bring that mission to life by creating engaging learning experiences, fostering curiosity, celebrating growth, and preparing students to become confident learners and compassionate citizens.

Our vision guides everything we do:

Esther Jackson will be a loving community where every child is valued and supported to grow as a caring individual and a successful scholar.

This year, our theme is Soaring to New Heights. Together, we will encourage every student to dream big, work hard, and embrace new opportunities for growth. We believe every child has limitless potential and it is our privilege to help them discover what is possible.

Our Jaguar Pledge, is recited by students and staff during morning announcements. More than words, this pledge represents who we are and who we aspire to be as a school community.

I am a caring Jaguar Scholar.
I am valued and I work hard.
I grow every day.
Today will be a great day because of ME!

Whether you are a returning family or joining us for the first time, thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Together, we will continue building a school where students thrive, families feel connected, and learning leads the way.

I look forward to partnering with you as we learn, grow, and continue Soaring to New Heights together.

Warmly,

Kim Kapella
