Dear NJB Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at New Joseph Bonnheim (NJB)! This year is especially meaningful as we proudly celebrate NJB’s 10-Year Anniversary—a decade of learning, growing, and thriving together. As the first SCUSD school to open on August 4, we’re excited to kick off the year with energy, joy, and a strong commitment to your child’s success.

At NJB, every child reaching grade level in Reading, Writing, and Math is our highest priority. We are proud to expand our team this year with two dedicated Reading Intervention Teachers, a Science Coordinator, and a full-time RSP Teacher, all committed to supporting the whole child. These educators will help bring our vision to life: a campus where students are engaged in learning that sparks imagination, encourages problem-solving, and ensures strong academic growth.

Our focus on intervention, engagement, and enrichment continues in and out of the classroom. From creating a “living schoolyard” to supporting meaningful instruction and better learning environments, we are designing a space where every student can thrive.

Attendance matters. At NJB, we expect students to be Here. Every Day. Ready to Learn and On Time. Each day presents new opportunities to learn, grow, and tackle challenges!

We are also proud to continue our strong partnership with our PTA, bringing monthly family events like BINGO Night, the Family Dance, Science Showcase, and Winter Wonderland—activities that build community and lasting memories.

Our afterschool program, Leaders of Tomorrow, continues to be a vital part of the NJB experience. Students will benefit from dedicated homework support alongside exciting extension activities such as King & Queen’s Club, LEGO Club, Choir, Sports, Computer Lab, and more.

We are also excited to share improvements to our school campus. This year, NJB will welcome:

·         Two new playgrounds

·         Two soccer fields

·         A redesigned front gate that extends the kindergarten area and enhances school safety

·         A refreshed garden area with irrigation

·         A new orchard of fruit trees, in partnership with the Sacramento Tree Foundation

We’re thrilled to share that NJB still has a few spots open in each grade level. Help us spread the word—share the excitement with your family and friends! Your voice helps us build an even stronger community and ensures that every seat is filled with a child ready to learn and grow.

Of course, none of this is possible without YOU—our parents, caregivers, and families. We need your partnership. Let’s make this 10th anniversary year one to remember. Together, we will make NJB a place where students grow strong roots and reach for the stars.

Sincerely,

Dianne Wiley
