Principal's Message

Welcome to Janssen Elementary, home of the Bulldogs! Janssen Elementary serves students in grades 5K through 4 with approximately 350 total students. Our vision is to develop students as problem solvers to reach their full potential. Our staff are dedicated to helping every student succeed by creating opportunities for students to be engaged in their learning, practice their skills, and engage as leaders within their classroom communities. 

Collaboratively, teachers and students work together to build and foster a strong classroom community of learners. This work includes co-creating classroom expectations, routines, and procedures to allow opportunities for student voice and accountability in effort to allow students to feel a sense of belonging within their classroom communities. 

As part of the Kimberly Area School District, Janssen staff members are continuously engaged in professional development to improve their practice in service to improve student learning.

We are committed to building strong partnerships with parents and families. Parents and families are an integral part of helping students grow and there is significant value in your engagement in your child’s education. Together, we can build and foster a love of learning both at home, and at school, to help our students expand their thinking, develop as problem solvers, and make infinite connections to their world around them.

As Principal, I'm proud of our school’s commitment to excellence and our passion for education. If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about Janssen Elementary, I invite you to reach out to me at any time.
