Message from the Principal

Dear Junipero Serra Families,

Welcome to Junipero Serra Elementary School! It is an honor to serve as your principal and to partner with you in supporting our students each and every day.

At Junipero Serra, we are proud to be an inclusive community where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. Our mission is to educate students to become independent learners who are kind, always improving, and prepared for their future. In our classrooms and throughout our campus, you will see students building confidence, practicing empathy, and challenging themselves to reach new goals.

We believe that learning is strongest when schools and families work together. Your involvement, encouragement, and partnership make a meaningful difference in your child’s success. Together, we can create a safe, welcoming environment where all of our Pintos thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for being an important part of our school community.

Warmly,

Teresa Sampayan
Principal
Junipero Serra Elementary School
