Schools, by nature, are dynamic, ever-changing places where things change and evolve to meet the needs of our community. With the implementation of our new reading program next year, we encouraged many of our teachers to consider teaching a different grade level. This approach provides a fresh start, allows teachers to bring new perspectives to their classrooms, and helps strengthen our instructional program across all grade levels.

We are excited about the talented team we have in place for the 2026-2027 school year. Below is our current teaching assignment plan (as always, assignments are subject to change based on enrollment and school needs).
Monday 8am is our Step-up Day (when current students will get to spend some time with their new teachers!)
PS: Mrs. Redden
TK: Mrs. Raigoza
K: Mrs. Serobyan & Ms. Lagos (New Hire)
1: Ms. Karamanukyan & Mrs. Holcomb
2: Ms. Anderson & Ms. Sicka
3: Ms. Redden & Mrs. Ramirez
4: Mrs. Bennett & (still hiring an amazing teacher!)
5: Mr. Ventura & Ms. Benton
6: Mr. Cuevas
7: Ms. Dominguez
8: Mrs. Valero

Mrs. Whited and Mrs. Sangalang will be retiring at the end of the year. Mrs. Lyons will be taking a job at St. Charles School to be closer to her own children, and Mrs. Scanlon has chosen to stay home with baby James next year. We will miss them all so much!
