Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!

My name is Jessica Marshall and I am Yerba Buena’s Proud Principal. I joined the YB
family in January of 2023 after being the Assistant Principal at Lindero Canyon
Middle School. Before that, I was an elementary educator for 17 years in Thousand
Oaks. I enjoyed teaching all levels from Transitional Kindergarten through 5th
grade. I am bilingual and biliterate in Spanish. In my free time I love to hike,
exercise, read books, see live music and performances, and be at the beach. My
husband, Jonathan, and I have three children: Mia, who is in 11th grade, and twins
Andrew and Olivia who are in 7th grade. We have two energetic dogs named Tanner and Max who keep us very busy and active.

As we begin a new school year, this year’s motto, “Make Your Mark”, encourages every student, staff member, and family to contribute in their own unique way. Whether it's through kindness, creativity, hard work, or curiosity, we believe everyone has something special to offer. This year, let’s celebrate the small moments and big achievements that help shape our school community—and leave a lasting, positive impact.

In addition to our rigorous and engaging curriculum and classroom instruction, we have several programs to foster a multifaceted educational experience. We look forward to growing our amazing arts program with the addition of a vocal music teacher to provide rich learning experiences for all students with weekly lessons.
We will be working on building our character through classroom lessons taught by our school counselor. This year we will continue to build upon our kindness program across our campus and community with student-led initiatives.
Additionally, our students will continue to create, design, and explore in our Innovation Station filled with tech tools, art supplies, and STEAM opportunities. Safety and a positive school climate is a top priority at YB. I look forward to working together with each of our students, staff members, and families to ensure our campus is a fun and safe place to learn.

It is my goal to be as accessible as possible, so please come by anytime to schedule an appointment or feel free to send me an email or call. We are all here to help your family have an amazing school year!

GO BOBCATS!

Warmly,

Jessica Marshall
