Principal's Corner

Dear Cielo Vista Families,

Welcome to a brand-new school year! I am thrilled to welcome you back—or welcome you for the first time—to Cielo Vista Elementary. It is an honor to serve as your principal, and I look forward to partnering with you to ensure your child has a safe, supportive, and enriching educational experience.

Let me take a moment to introduce myself. I bring 28 years of experience in education, having served as a kindergarten, first grade, and second grade teacher before moving into administration. My purpose has always been rooted in doing what is best for students. I am deeply committed to meeting both their academic and social-emotional needs, and I believe every child deserves a learning environment where they feel safe, welcomed, and empowered to succeed.

This year, we will continue building on the celebrations and growth of last year. Our work is grounded in purpose and strengthened by our partnerships with families. Together, we will create a school community where every student can thrive.

Please know that I am here to help and support in any way I can. I am excited for what lies ahead and look forward to an amazing school year—together as one team for our students.

Warmly,
Maria Guerra
Principal, Cielo Vista Elementary
