Principal's Message

Welcome to Las Positas Elementary School.

Dear Las Positas School Community,

My name is Jackie Jenkins, and I am honored to continue serving as the principal of Las Positas Elementary School. It has been a privilege to be part of this incredible school community, and I am excited to begin another year with our amazing students, families, and staff.

With 26 years as an educator, I bring a deep commitment to student growth and a passion for fostering a learning environment where every child can excel. I remain dedicated to the principles of the IB Primary Years Program, which promotes inquiry-based learning and supports the development of the whole child thriving academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Las Positas, we continue to embrace the IB Learner Profile Attributes: inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. These attributes are at the heart of our mission and guide our students toward becoming compassionate, curious, and globally minded citizens.

As we look ahead to another exciting school year, I am reminded of a quote by Albert Einstein: "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." I look forward to deepening our partnership and continuing to inspire our students to think critically and creatively.

Thank you for being such an essential part of our school community. I am truly grateful for your continued support and look forward to all we will accomplish together.

Warm regards,
