Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you are returning to Del Oro or joining our community for the first time, we are so glad you’re here. We are excited to begin another year of growth, learning, and connection together.
At Del Oro, we proudly say “We are SUNS.” This is more than just a phrase—it’s a reflection of the values that shape who we are as a school community:
- Strength means facing challenges with resilience, believing in ourselves, and encouraging one another to do hard things. We know that real growth often comes through effort, and we are here to support every student in reaching their full potential.
- Unity is about belonging. We work to create a school where everyone—every student, every family, every staff member—feels seen, valued, and respected. Together, we are stronger.
- Nurturing reminds us that learning happens best in an environment of trust and care. We are committed to creating classrooms and campus spaces where students feel safe to take risks, express themselves, and grow—not just academically, but as whole people.
- Service means we look out for one another and our community. We believe in the power of kindness, leadership, and giving back. At Del Oro, we support each other, step up when someone needs help, and use our strengths to make a difference.
These values guide the way we learn, teach, and interact every day. Through inclusion, we ensure that every voice matters. Through collaboration, we work together as students, families, and staff. Through innovation, we prepare students to think critically and creatively for the future. And through restorative practices, we foster relationships, repair harm, and build a culture of accountability and care.
As we begin this new school year, we invite you to join us in living out these values. Let’s work together to make this year one of connection, challenge, celebration, and community.
Thank you for being part of what makes Del Oro such a special place. We’re ready to shine—and we’re glad you’re with us.
