Magnolia School District

Welcome to the website of Dr. Jonas E. Salk School! Named for a hero who was deemed "The Man Who Saved the Children," Dr. Jonas E. Salk is a place where everyone works collaboratively to provide a safe, happy, and invigorating learning environment. We are dedicated to academic excellence and to the development of individuals of good character. Salk's dynamic school community is committed to working as a team to ensure that our students are actively engaged in a rigorous, standards-based, cohesive core curriculum that is meaningful and pertinent to their lives. We hold high expectations for our students and are unified in the belief that all students can achieve high standards.

In addition to the core curriculum, a variety of programs enrich students' experiences and connect them to school. Accelerated Reader allows our students to earn points and prizes for improving their reading comprehension. Jiji Math offers our students the opportunity to build conceptual knowledge of key grade level math concepts. After school activities include: Anaheim Achieves, Success Through Chess, and our district sponsored music program that includes choir and instrumental music. Students are encouraged to participate in leadership roles through the Student Council and Peer Assistance Leadership (PAL). The district-adopted Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) program provides a foundation for a positive and respectful learning atmosphere. Students are recognized daily, both in classrooms and school-wide, for exhibiting the qualities of our Hawks Rules! (Have respect, Act responsibly, Work together, Keep safe and Soar to success!)

Numerous community partnerships empower our students and families and contribute to our positive and caring climate. Anaheim Achieves, of the Anaheim Family YMCA, provides after school tutoring, extracurricular classes, and sports and recreation. Magnolia High School students serve as Regional Occupation Program instructional aides regularly in our classrooms, providing academic support and mentorship to students. We are also pleased to have on campus an excellent pre-school program that specializes in early student learning and literacy, and prepares our students for kindergarten success.

Salk School is extremely fortunate to have the support of parents who are actively involved in their children's education. Parents serve in leadership roles such as the School Site Council, English Learner Advisory Committee, and Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Our PTA facilitates numerous experiences for our students including educational assemblies, family evenings and the Scholastic Book Fair.

At Dr. Jonas E. Salk School, students are empowered to become skillful, inquisitive, life-long learners who will act responsibly and exert a positive influence on one another, their community, and the world.
