Welcome to San Jacinto
Elementary!
The faculty
and staff at San Jacinto Elementary are dedicated to
helping our students succeed. We focus on the future
of each student by providing a nurturing and challenging
environment. Each
one of our 490 students is given a wide variety of educational
experiences developed to meet his or her individual
needs. Our
campus has over forty instructional and support staff
members and numerous programs designed especially with
the needs of our students in mind. Our faculty and staff are enthusiastic about
helping our students develop the skills they need to
meet the challenging years ahead.
Our
beliefs, mission, and goals...
It is our
belief that every student is capable of learning and
can be taught. Therefore, San Jacinto’s primary mission
is to provide the opportunity for all children to develop
to their full intellectual, physical, and social potential
in order to become productive and contributing citizens
in their community.
San Jacinto Elementary is "Sizzling with Success." We set high expectations for each student. The faculty and staff at San Jacinto are prepared to help each child reach those expectations through the numerous programs designed to help our students succeed. Our primary goals are to improve student achievement, improve student attendance, and increase parental involvement.
To succeed
in this mission, we have developed the following goals:
- Ninety
percent of the students taking the TAKS test will
achieve mastery on all tests.
- Analysis
of TAKS data will be used for planning of the instructional
program.
- Staff
development will be provided for TAKS specifications
and teaching strategies.
- A
self-esteem and discipline program will be implemented
to help students make positive choices.
- Parental
and community involvement will be an integral part
of the total educational program at San Jacinto.
