From Our Principal

Dear JD Salinas MS Family,

As we move through the 2024-2025 school year, I'm incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of our students and staff. Let's continue to strive for excellence in all that we do, especially as we prepare for our upcoming state assessments. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success. Please ensure your child arrives to school on time and ready to learn each day.
At JD Salinas, we believe in fostering a supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. Let's finish this year strong by embracing challenges, celebrating our accomplishments, and supporting each other every step of the way.
I am confident that with continued effort, consistent attendance, and a positive attitude, we will achieve great things in the remaining months of the school year.


Sincerely,
Mr. Peña

We are a group of experienced, devoted, and determined individuals who have made a commitment to a phenomenal group of students. We accept this labor of love and instill in our students that our challenges do not define us rather, they empower us.

We are strong. We are united.  #WEAREJD
