Superintendent/principal
Dear Parents, Students, & Community Members,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am excited to begin my eleventh year here at San Ardo Elementary! We have many exciting things planned for the year -such as our carnivals, a color fun run, holiday celebrations, and sports activities. We are focused on implementing a data-focused, student-centered educational program to drive continuous improvement in conjunction with our partners at the Monterey County Office of Education.
We completed our modernization projects three years ago. All of the students' restrooms have been fully remodeled, the kitchen and auditorium have been modernized, most of our classrooms now have new modern finishes and have been upgraded, we added a parking lot, installed permanent accessibility ramps, and the tennis court was resurfaced to use as a sports court. We are currently working on having the asphalt repaved, a shade structure installed, and the roofing replaced. We have also ordered a new playground structure with a swing set to be installed in the fall.
We used additional stimulus funding this year to have Ms. Susan Nickerson as our Associate Marriage and Family Therapist for individual and group counseling. We also continued with our part-time physical education and health teacher, Mrs. Agius, to teach students the physical education standards. We will continue with our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and the hands-on lab activities! We will continue with the additional certificated teacher (reading specialist) working with small groups providing literacy intervention.
I am always open to other suggestions or ideas from our parents and community partners to bring programs and services for our students. Please be sure to join the San Ardo Parents Committee and bring your input to the meetings. Please feel free to call me at 831-627-2520 Ext. 112 or email at creimer@sanardousd.org. I look forward to working with you all for the benefit of children this year!
Sincerely,
Catherine N. Reimer, Ed.D.
