Principal's Message


Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. We are excited to welcome our new Wildcats and their families. We encourage each family to become an active member of our community by attending parent/teacher events, volunteering in the building and joining our PTO. We would love to see you at our quarterly Coffee with Counselors.  Both our school counselors, Mrs. Summerfield (grades K-2) Mrs. Bird (grade 3-5)  our school social worker (Mrs. Erin Gilstrap-Mobley)  and our Military Family Life counselor, Ms. Virginia Sanchez-Valdez, bring relevant topic and an time to socialize and build relationships with other parents.
