Dear Families and Community Members,
It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the principal of Salida Elementary School. Our school is a safe, nurturing, and dynamic learning environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our dedicated and passionate staff is committed to providing a high-quality education that empowers every child to achieve their personal best. In addition to a strong foundation in core subjects, we offer a well-rounded curriculum that includes music, art, physical education, and technology- ensuring a comprehensive educational experience.
We are also fortunate to have an active and supportive Parents’ Association, which plays a vital role in enriching our students' learning experiences by funding field trips and fostering strong connections among families and staff.
I believe that education is the cornerstone of thriving, compassionate communities. As principal, I am dedicated to working collaboratively with our staff, families, and the broader community to create a meaningful and engaging educational experience for every student.
Thank you for being a valued part of the Salida Elementary School family. I look forward to a successful and rewarding school year together.
Gustavo Duran
Principal, SES
