Dear Oak Ridge Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with opportunities to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. I am excited to begin another incredible year at Oak Ridge and am honored to continue serving this amazing community as your principal.
As we start the new school year, our team is eager to AMPLIFY learning across our campus and throughout CVUSD. The dedicated educators and staff at Oak Ridge remain committed to making a positive difference in the lives of every student. Together, we will foster a school culture built on inclusion, empathy, fairness, and inspiration, where all students feel valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
At the heart of everything we do is a student-centered approach that prioritizes both high-quality instruction and emotional wellness. We are committed to creating meaningful learning experiences while ensuring that every child feels connected, confident, and cared for. Just as important, student safety will continue to be a top priority. We strive to maintain a safe, welcoming environment where students can thrive and families feel respected, valued, and encouraged to be active partners in our school community.
The success of our students is strengthened through collaboration between home and school. As we work together throughout the year, I am confident that our students will achieve great things, grow as learners and leaders, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.
Please know that my door is always open. I look forward to connecting with new and returning families, celebrating successes, and working alongside you to make this an exceptional year for every Oak Ridge student. Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust.
With enthusiasm for the year ahead,
Katie Jeanal
Principal, Oak Ridge Elementary School
