Sallie Jones Elementary

Our school has chosen to operate through a uniquely different lens. Leader in Me is about empowering your child to reach their full potential while ultimately finding their voice. As a school, the staff in this building have made five core commitments to your child. We call these our Core Paradigms. In these paradigms you will find the belief and way we view all students. At this school we see that:

• Everyone is a leader.
• Everyone has genius.
• Change starts with me.
• We empower students to lead their own learning.
• Educators and families partner to develop the whole person.

Not only do these paradigms apply to your student, they apply to all of us!

Leader in Me provides our school with the vision and language to lead the school in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and develops their unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead.
As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education, and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. The children quickly understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.

Sallie Jones is proud to be the 33rd Lighthouse School!  What does that mean? SJE has implemented The Leader in Me process -  a unique environment where the principles, practices and habits of The 7 Habits of Healthy Kids® are embedded into our culture. The Leader in Me process defines our school’s operations, permeates instructional practice and curriculum, and is the basis of a vibrant leadership development approach for both students and staff.  We welcome you to attend our leadership day to be immersed in a culture of leadership with presentations from our students and teachers and to enjoy visits into our classrooms to hear about your child’s progress.
