Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at The Charles and Anna Booker Elementary School! I am thrilled to extend a warm greeting to each of you as we embark on an exciting journey of learning and growth together.

My name is Juanpablo Jimenez, and it is my honor to serve as the principal of The Charles and Anna Booker Elementary School. Joining me on our leadership team are Assistant Principals Ayesha Z. Howard and Alicia N. Migliore, both of whom bring a wealth of experience and dedication to our school community.

As we begin this academic year, I am reminded of the profound impact of civil rights leaders Charles and Anna Booker. Their courageous case against Plainfield Public Schools stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to justice and equity in education. At our school, we are inspired by their legacy, embodying the motto, "Their Legacy is Our Responsibility," in everything we do.

Our goal for this year is to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically and socially-emotionally. We have high expectations for all our students, and we are committed to providing them with the support and resources they need to succeed.

At The Charles and Anna Booker Elementary School, we uphold core values that guide us every day: **be respectful, be resilient, be confident, and be kind**. These values are the foundation of our school culture and are integral to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment.

I encourage you to stay engaged and involved in your child's education journey. Together, we can make a significant difference in their academic success and personal growth. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our staff if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.

Here's to a fantastic school year filled with discovery, achievement, and memorable experiences!

Warm regards,

 Juanpablo Jimenez
