A Message from Our Principal

Dear De Anza Families and Community,
 
It is with great joy and continued commitment that I welcome you to another exciting year at De Anza Elementary School. As I begin my second year as principal, I am honored to continue serving this incredible community and to work alongside our dedicated students, staff, and families.
 
Over the past year, I have had the privilege of getting to know the heart of De Anza. I have witnessed the dedication of our educators, the resilience and enthusiasm of our students, and the unwavering support of our families. Together, we have built strong relationships and created meaningful opportunities for student growth, and I am excited to continue that work in the year ahead. As a proud product of the Baldwin Park community, my connection to this district runs deep.
 
At De Anza, we remain committed to educating the whole child. We strive to provide rigorous learning experiences while fostering the social, emotional, and physical well-being of every student. Our goal is to ensure that all students feel valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
 
The partnership between home and school continues to be one of our greatest strengths. I encourage all families to stay engaged in their child’s education and to work alongside us as we create meaningful learning experiences and lasting memories for our students. Together, we can ensure that every Dragon is successful and prepared for the future.
 
Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership. I look forward to another wonderful year of learning, growth, and achievement with our De Anza community.
 
Kindly,
Mrs. Vanessa Rivas
Principal, De Anza Elementary School
