Welcome to the Pride!
Dear Lion Scholar,
We are delighted to welcome you to Jonas Salk Elementary, Where Dreams Begin!
If you are reading this page, you have completed the Enrollment process with our school Office Staff and you are almost ready to start learning! If you are new to Jonas Salk and even San Diego Unified School District, there are a few things you need to get familiarized with in order to be a successful student!
Here at Jonas Salk Elementary every Homeroom Teacher is assigned a College! You should have received the name of your Homeroom Teacher AND College once the Enrollment process was completed!
At Jonas Salk, our teachers use the following Platforms for teaching everyday:
Jonas Salk Lion's Den Webpage (you are on it now)
Schoology
Zoom
You will also be introduced to different learning platforms by your teachers, but it is imperative that parents and students become familiar with the platforms mentioned above in order to begin their learning journey!
We look forward to working with you this year! During the school day, scholars are expected to be in Schoology (no “surfing the WEB”) during school hours.
School begins promptly at 7:45 a.m. Please arrive daily on time to your ZOOM ROOM as attendance and all assignments are required (since you are scholars, some assignments will be done independently).
Please look to through the resources below on this page!
Our teachers, coaches and support team look forward to meeting you and learning with you!
Put on your thinking caps and come ready to do your personal best!
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Principal Hardson

I got my Teacher's Name & College, Now What?
The first thing you want to do is to watch this amazing video on how The Lion's Den Webpage works and where you can find all of your resources!
You will want to Bookmark this webpage so you can access it easily.
The Lion's Den is always a work in progress. You'll notice that it mentions only 4 tabs at the top, however, we have more tabs now. This video was made at the beginning of the school year, but it gives you everything you need to know on how to understand it and navigate through it.
