Welcome
Principal's Message
Dear Santa Maria Families, As we bring the 2024–2025 school year to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support, partnership, and trust throughout the year. It has been a joy and a privilege to watch our Blue Jays grow, learn, and soar both academically and personally. This year has been filled with meaningful learning, exciting milestones, and unforgettable memories. None of this would have been possible without the incredible dedication of our teachers and staff, and the continued encouragement and involvement of you—our parents and guardians. As we head into summer, I encourage you to enjoy time with your children, nurture their curiosity, and keep their love for learning alive in everyday moments. Whether it's through reading, exploring nature, or simply having conversations, each experience adds to their growth. We are already looking forward to welcoming our students back in August for another year of learning, laughter, and success. Until then, I wish all of our families a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer break. Thank you for being an essential part of the Santa Maria Elementary community. With gratitude, Jose R. Perez III Principal Santa Maria Elementary
