Dear Jasper Champions,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome both our returning families and those who are joining the Jasper community for the very first time. Whether you have been a Champion for years or are just beginning your journey with us, know that you are now part of a school family that believes every child has the ability to learn, grow, lead, and succeed.

Our theme this year, Champions Rise Together, reflects who we are and what we believe. Success is never achieved alone. It is built through teamwork, encouragement, perseverance, and a shared commitment to one another. Together, our students, staff, families, and community create the conditions where every Champion can thrive.

Last year was one of tremendous accomplishments. We celebrated academic growth, expanded opportunities for our students, strengthened our Dual Language Immersion Pathway, and continued building a school culture where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to do their very best. These successes were possible because of the incredible partnership among our dedicated staff, supportive families, and amazing students. While we are proud of what we accomplished together, we know our greatest achievements are still ahead of us.

As we begin this new school year, we welcome many new students and families into the Jasper family. We look forward to learning alongside you, celebrating your successes, and creating lasting memories together. At Jasper, every student belongs, every family matters, and every Champion has something special to contribute.

Our commitment remains the same. We will provide a safe, caring, and engaging learning environment where students are challenged academically, supported socially and emotionally, and encouraged to become confident, compassionate leaders. Guided by our Champion expectations to be Safe, Kind, and Responsible, we will continue to foster a culture where every student can reach their fullest potential.

There is something truly special about Jasper Elementary. You can feel it in our classrooms, on our playgrounds, at our family events, and in the smiles of our students. It is the spirit of our community, the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the pride our students carry each day.

As we move forward together, I encourage each member of our Jasper family to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Let us encourage one another, celebrate each success, learn from every challenge, and continue lifting each other higher. When we work together with purpose, determination, and heart, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

Simply put, our Champion Pride cannot be denied!

Thank you for entrusting us with your children. It is an honor and a privilege to serve this incredible community. I look forward to another year of learning, growing, celebrating, and rising together.

Here is to an amazing 2026-2027 school year!

Champions Rise Together!

With appreciation,

Mr. Curtis Quanstrom
Principal
