Welcome to JDZ Elementary!

JDZ's mission aligns with the Camas School District mission to provide students with the ability to communicate effectively, use technology, reason, be self-confident, possess mental and physical health and work effectively with others. In broader terms, our mission is to create a "learning community" where teachers, students and citizens are jointly involved in the advancement of knowledge and personal growth.

Our Facility

JDZ was built in 1968 and served as Camas’ middle school until 1996. It then became home to fifth and sixth graders through June 2006. In September 2006 JDZ becomes a preschool through grade five elementary school, one of five elementary schools in the Camas School District. Our school includes three clusters of classrooms, a building that houses the cafeteria and two gyms, and two portable classroom buildings. We have extensive outdoor areas for students and for community use and Camas Roots, a school community garden.

Come Visit

We are proud of our school and its programs. JDZ encourages the community to be a part of our school. Feel free to call us at 833-5710 for more information or to arrange a visit. Parent helpers are always welcome in classrooms, the library and school office!
