Dear Fillmore Elementary Community,

It is with great excitement and anticipation that I welcome you all back for the 2024-2025 school year! As we stand on the threshold of a new academic year, I am filled with pride and optimism for the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead for our school community. My name is Ricardo Cota, and I am honored to be your new Principal. 

To our students, both returning and new, we are thrilled to have you with us. Each of you brings unique talents, interests, and perspectives that enrich our school environment. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and stimulating atmosphere where you can explore your passions, overcome challenges, and achieve your full potential. Remember, every day is a chance to learn something new, make new friends, and create lasting memories.

To our dedicated parents and guardians, thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education and for your continued support. Your involvement is crucial to our success, and we look forward to working closely with you to ensure the best possible experience for your children. Together, we can create a nurturing and dynamic community that fosters growth and excellence.

This year, we have exciting new programs, initiatives, and events planned that will enhance our academic offerings and enrich our school culture. From innovative classroom projects to extracurricular activities, there will be countless opportunities for students to learn, grow, and thrive. I encourage everyone to get involved, stay engaged, and make the most of what our school has to offer.

As we navigate this journey together, let’s remember the importance of kindness, respect, and perseverance. Let’s support one another, celebrate our achievements, and learn from our challenges. Together, we can create an inclusive and vibrant school community where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed.

Here’s to a fantastic 2025-2026 school year filled with learning, growth, and endless possibilities!

Welcome back!
