Dear Mariposa Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! It is my honor to begin my fifth year as Principal of Mariposa Elementary. I look forward to working with each of you as we collaborate to ensure our students are successful—at Mariposa and beyond.

I’m excited to continue our Leader in Me journey and look forward to the success this will bring to each of our students. At Mariposa, we remain committed to helping students reach their full potential. Through our focus on leadership, our students will continue to grow academically and develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive.

As a parent, you are a valued partner, and we are committed to maintaining strong and consistent communication with you. Our primary method of communication is ParentSquare. I encourage you to use the ParentSquare application daily. Through ParentSquare, you can communicate with your child’s teacher and receive important classroom and school announcements.

I hope to see you at “Coffee with the Principal” and other school-wide events. I welcome your partnership, and please know that I have an open-door policy—I invite your visits, input, and involvement.

This is going to be another GRRREAT school year!
