A Message From Our New Superintendent:

It certainly has been an exhilarating start to my superintendency! I am ready to lead our district and I am thankful for this opportunity. This district has provided me with many opportunities for participation and leadership. Those roles have included that of a high school student (okay… that was a long time ago!), a community member, a volunteer and a parent. Within our schools I have spent time at all levels; as a middle school and high school teacher, a middle school vice-principal, an elementary school principal and as the director of curriculum and instruction. Each of these roles has added to my perspective about our schools and our community. This perspective allows me to see the incredible educational programs we offer students as well as the opportunities we have to further the success of ALL students.

In my role as our district leader, I have four goals to address in the next six weeks. These goals include:

1. Visiting with all sites for a “brown bag” lunch where I can informally meet with staff members and students.

2. Meeting with our critically important service provider departments including Transportation, Maintenance and Operations, and Food Service.

3. Creating a Superintendent’s Blog Site for the sharing of up-to-date district information.

4. Meeting with community stakeholders and parent organization groups.

My clear vision is that all children will have all options available to them after the completion of high school.  This means that every student has the opportunity to apply to a 4-year university, enroll in a technical education institute, attend a junior college, or join the work force.  The key is that all doors are open to EVERY student and it becomes his/her decision about what choice to make after high school.

There’s no doubt in my mind that as a district we are ready to pursue this vision.  We are willing to let student success drive our efforts to be stronger educators. We hold ourselves accountable for this critical task and we look for ways to continually address the needs of our students.

As a district, this is our time. It’s the time to set high standards and expectations for all students. It’s the time to transform our K-12 system into one that is truly engaging for our children. It’s the time to let every student know he/she can go to college with hard work and determination.

I look forward to working with our Sonoma Valley community in making our district the very best in the nation.

Sincerely,

Louann Carlomagno
