Principal's Welcome

Welcome to James Mastricola Elementary School (JMES) in Merrimack, NH! JMES is a bustling learning community that includes preschool through 4^th grade students, the JMES staff, parents/guardians, and the Town of Merrimack community.

Throughout the year, we take time to reflect about our overarching school goals, Mastricola’s Big 3: Respect, Responsibility and Safety. These goals guide us how to work and play during our school day and include these areas: classrooms, playground, lunchroom, bathrooms, hallway and even on our buses. We will be learning and practicing how to be respectful, responsible and safe at JMES every day.

Be sure to check out the rest of our website to learn more about the many different events and activities happening at JMES. There is also a lot of information about our school, in general, and of course some answers to those Frequently Asked Questions!

Everyone involved in our learning community is enthusiastic and dedicated which is what makes it a truly wonderful place to learn and to work. We look forward to seeing you at some of our exciting events throughout the year!
