Principal’s Message

Altagracia Ramirez

 

Dear Mendiola Families and Community,

It is an honor and a privilege to serve the students, families, staff, and community of Dr. Palmira Mendiola Elementary.  I believe that every child deserves a school where they feel safe, supported, valued, challenged, and inspired to succeed.

As your principal, my commitment is to lead with high expectations, consistency, transparency, and a student-centered focus.  Together with our teachers and staf, we will provide high-quality instruction, create a safe and supportive learning environment, and ensure that every decision we make is centered on improving outcomes for our students.

Our families and community are essential partners in this work.  We are committed to keeping you informed, welcomed, and actively engaged in your child’s education.  I encourage you to communicate with us; participate in campus activities, celebrate our successes, and work alongside us as we address challenges and create new opportunities for our students.

At Mendiola, we believe that excellence is achieved when school, family, and community work together with a shared purpose.  I look forward to building strong relationships with each of you and making Mendiola a place where every student can learn, grow and thrive.

Together, we will make a difference---one student, one classroom, and one day at a time.

Educational Excellence: The Right of Every Student.

 

With Coyote Pride,

Altagracia Ramirez, Principal

Dr. Palmira Mendiola Elementary

 

ONE TEAM, ONE PURPOSE. EVERY STUDENT.
