Kohlberg Elementary Newletter
Week of 8-4-25
Dear Kohlberg Families,
Welcome back! I’m thrilled to begin my second year as your principal and honored to continue serving this extraordinary community. Last year was an amazing year of watching your children grow and learn. This will be an exciting year where our Coyotes will continue to thrive under the outstanding guidance of the dedicated teachers and team here at Kohlberg. Huge shout out to our parents and families for your continued support.
We’re excited to welcome all of our students back on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. for what promises to be another fantastic school year!
This year is especially exciting as we open our doors to our newest Coyotes in Prekindergarten 3—we can’t wait to watch them grow and thrive with us.
Thank you for your continued support. Let’s make it a wonderful year together!
Warmly,
Patricia Bazan
Principal, Kohlberg Elementary
