Letter from Melissa Aviles-Ramos - Looking Back on a Transformative Year
Dear Families,
When I was a teacher, principal, and district leader, I always took time at the end of the school year to reflect—both on what we had accomplished and what lay ahead. Now, as Chancellor, I am eager to do the same. It’s been an honor to lead this incredible community of students, staff, and families, and I’m glad that we have much to celebrate as we wrap up the 2024-2025 school year.
