Dear John J. Pershing Community,

I hope this message finds you well. As we embark on another exciting school year, I want to take a moment to highlight and celebrate the diverse and enriching programs we offer at John J. Pershing Elementary.

Our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment is reflected in our three distinct programs, each designed to meet the unique needs of our students and support their individual growth:

1. Monolingual Program: This program provides a robust and comprehensive education in English, emphasizing strong foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. Our dedicated teachers use innovative strategies to engage students and help them achieve their full potential.

2. Dual Language Immersion Program: In this program, students experience the benefits of bilingual education through a carefully designed curriculum that integrates both English and Spanish. Our goal is to cultivate bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural understanding, preparing students to thrive in a global society.

3. Autism Spectrum Disorder Program: Our specialized program for students on the autism spectrum offers a tailored approach to education, focusing on individualized support, social skills development, and academic growth. We work closely with families to create a nurturing environment that respects each student’s unique needs and strengths.

At John J. Pershing Elementary we will maximize learning through an inclusive environment and empower ALL students to reach their fullest potential. Our diverse programs are a testament to our dedication to providing exceptional education and support for all students. We are proud of the community we have built together and look forward to another year of growth, learning, and achievement.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Here’s to a successful and inspiring school year ahead!

Warm regards,

Amanda Musso 

Principal, John J. Pershing Elementary
