Hello and welcome to Olivenhain
Pioneer Elementary School,
I am honored to be serving as the
principal of such a remarkable school of amazing students, committed staff,
supportive parents, and involved community members. At OP Elementary School, we
work together to bring the very best learning experiences to every child. I am
proud of our wonderful children, staff, and families, and look forward to
working with you to make each day filled with successful learning for our students.
As a staff, we remain focused on meeting the academic and social-emotional
needs of every child. The mission of OPE is to develop the whole child by
providing each child with a nurturing environment and an academically
challenging curriculum that promotes:
· Life-long learning
· Creative and critical thinking
·
Personal academic
achievement
·
Appreciation for individual
differences
·
Global thinking
·
Responsible citizenship
Our wonderful staff is dedicated to
working collaboratively and their commitment to student success is what sets
them apart from others. We will be dedicating our efforts this year to
establish Grade Level Planning Time ‘The Wheel’ to further develop our
differentiation model which will focus on meeting the needs of all of our
learners.
We also will place great emphasis
on positive school climate and provide weekly spirit assemblies focusing on
respect, responsibility, caring, trustworthiness, fairness, and citizenship
through ‘Character Counts’ lessons.
When you visit our campus, I am
sure you will agree that a sense of caring and high expectations is evident.
There is a friendly atmosphere and strong sense of community on campus. Our
families and community are an integral part of our school’s success. Parents
can be found in countless classrooms, engaged in meaningful work. We encourage
you to get involved with any of the invaluable committees already in action
such as our School Site Council (SSC), Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Encinitas
Education Foundation (EEF). On our website, you will find current information
about our school, schedules, staff, classrooms, and exciting events. I look
forward to getting to know all of you this year!
Warmly,
Beth Cameron
Principal
