A Message from our Principal, Ms. Michel Cazary
Hello Spreckels Families!
I am so thankful to be part of this incredible community. I have fallen in love with every aspect of Spreckels from our students, to our staff, to our parents, and our entire community. I am proud to be a learner alongside such amazing educators!
My heart lies within the promise of public education. I am proud to serve as a leader of such a diverse school. It is amazing to watch our students from all different backgrounds come together to create a vibrant learning community here at Spreckels. I am passionate about educating the whole child, which means a focus on not just the academic component of school, but on the habits of mind we are fostering in ourselves and our students to be effective citizens in an ever-changing world. We are proud to offer our Spanish enrichment program that allows our students to build an exposure and love of the Spanish language!
I come to Spreckels with a variety of experiences within education. I started out as an elementary classroom teacher. I then transitioned to a variety of support positions within elementary schools- Peer Coach, Literacy Resource Teacher, English Learner Support Teacher, and Intervention Specialist. Most recently, I was a Common Core Cluster Support Teacher in the area of literacy for our school district. I traveled across our schools to coach principals and teachers around the implementation of the Common Core literacy standards and practices. I am confident that my wide range of experiences help me daily provide the instructional leadership that Spreckels deserves!
If you are interested in Spreckels, I hope you will join us on a tour. I lead all the tours personally and offer a blend of operational items about our school as well as our vision and beliefs about children and education. I appreciate opportunities to connect with the community and especially parents! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]
Here's to a wonderful year!!!
Michel Cazary
