Dr. Anderson’s message to her school district, in part:  We are committed to continuous improvement. The focus of our mission is to ensure that each student develops a passion for learning through challenging curricula. We are a community of learners committed to excellence in education.

Our theme for the 2015-16 school year is: Students First: Transforming Schools and Communities. We are implementing numerous technology and capital improvements as a result of our community’s support to Proposition J. Jennings is reaching new heights and we invite you to visit one of our schools to volunteer and learn more.

We believe that collectively, sustainable school improvement can occur. In preparation for the 2012-13 school year, throughout the summer, we have been updating our web page in an effort to give the community greater access to district information that community members may find helpful. We encourage parents to visit their child’s school. Please take time to explore our links to each school on our web page and explore our district calendar for key dates in which you can become involved.

The 2015-16 school year will be an exciting school year. It is a privilege to serve the families of the Jennings School District. Thank you for your continued support. I welcome your feedback. Please feel free to contact me anytime at [email protected]. .

Sincerely,
