Welcome to the Las Juntas Community!

My name is Patty Crespo and I am so grateful to return as Principal of Las Juntas Elementary for the 2024-25 school year. Last year taught me so much about the impact that working together has on the load that we all carry as a school community. Our goal this year is to spend more time looking at student data together to increase academic growth. This goal is at the core of this year's motto: Together We Grow.

This year, we will focus on several aspects of student and adult growth, as we continue our work together as a school. We will diligently work on providing a safe space for all of us to learn from our mistakes; we will focus on learning how to be responsible and accountable for our actions; We will nurture and grow our respect for our school and our world, for those around us, and most importantly, for ourselves; and we will learn to ask for help and lean on each other when needed. Our world is filled with opportunities for us to learn and grow, we just have to be willing to recognize the opportunity and take it.

Together, we will continue to grow! It’s a great day to be a BULLPUP!
