Principal's Message Principal's Message

Dear Herrea families,



It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the start of a new school year. Each August brings with it a renewed sense of possibility, fresh opportunities to learn, and the excitement of welcoming familiar and new faces into our school community.



Our school is more than a place to learn. It is a place where students are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we are committed to creating a safe environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and supported.



The success of our students is built on a strong partnership between families, educators, and the community. Your encouragement, involvement, and trust make a meaningful difference, and we are grateful for the role you play in helping our students thrive.



On behalf of our entire school staff, thank you for being part of our school family. We look forward to celebrating achievements, creating lasting memories, and making this a successful and rewarding year for everyone.



Sincerely,




Kristen Villasenor
