Dear Parents,

Welcome to Spring Valley Elementary. What an exciting time to be the first group of people to be involved in the opening of a new school. My name is Sierra Jackson and I am looking forward to getting our school started. Prior to coming to Spring Valley Elementary I was the principal at Custer Hill Elementary for twelve years. I have also taught fourth grade for four years and fifth grade Educable Mentally Handicapped children for six years. I am married and live in Junction City. My husband is a Captain for the Junction City Fire Department and owns a lawn and chimney sweep business. We have two wonderful children who both attend schools in this district.
 
As a parent, I send my children to school with the intention that they will be treated with respect and will be in a safe and caring environment. As an educator, I will make every effort to ensure that every child is treated with respect and is safe at school. I intend to make decisions based on what is in the best interest of all children. I will proceed in all situations with the best interest of the whole child foremost in my mind. I am confident that you and your children will enjoy being at our school.
 
Although this is the first year for many of the faculty and staff to work together, we are all in agreement that our mission is to teach children not only academic skills but interpersonal skills as well. Academic, social, and emotional well-being will be fostered at Spring Valley Elementary. We will guide students toward personal responsibility and the decision making skills they will need to function in society. Our school will be a warm, caring, and safe environment where boys and girls can work diligently, achieve academic success, and show courtesy to peers and to all school personnel. We believe that all can achieve and that our students, faculty, and staff will strive to do their Personal Best.
 
My door is always open and I look forward to meeting each of you. I know that by working together we can make this a successful year for you and your child/children.
 
 

Respectfully,
Sierra K. Jackson
Principal
