A Message from the Principal Hello Sea Lion Nation, I remain eternally grateful for the community of support that we have and continue to build. Through you and this partnership we share, I have the privilege to be able to truthfully say that I come to work each day with both joy and appreciation. I thank you for that privilege and your continued commitment. As a school we have had such an improvement overall. This includes a substantial increase and improvement in our school data compared to this point in time last school year. Community involvement is much more noticeable. We have earned an “A” school grade this year! This is such an amazing accomplishment that was only possible through the hard work of the students, teachers, faculty and staff, parents, and community members. The number one way that you can help your student be successful this year is to make sure students are present in school. If students are not present, they cannot learn the material presented in class. Thank you to those that come to school ready to learn and are striving for excellence. Gooooo Sea Lions!! Damian Rosado, Principal
