Principal's Newsletter
What is going on in the world of Buena Vista
Note from the Principal's Desk
This is my last Principal's newsletter. I have so enjoyed my time this year at BV. Thank you to all of you that I got to know this year. As the new Principal of our school, I have had my work cut out for me to get to know a brand new community. I was so blown away by the dedicated parents and staff. They deserve a huge thank you for contributing to such a successful year. I would also like to thank the many parents who have come to see me. Having a good understanding of our parent body is very important to enable the school to meet the needs and aspirations of our families and students.
Most importantly our students have enjoyed another fabulous year. They have excelled in so many fields it is impossible to list them all. I have attended many celebration events and have listened in awe as their achievements have been described. These achievements have been in their academic studies, music, the arts to name just a few and we are justly proud of them.
Over the summer vacation, I will be working with colleagues and PTA to put into place a smooth opening to the new academic year and setting the priorities to build upon the successes of the school so that we can improve still further. We should always seek to do better; to challenge ourselves and our students to set the highest standards and achieve our ambitious goals.
I would like to wish you all the very best for the summer vacation and look forward to welcoming you all back, refreshed, for what will be an exciting, new academic year.
Sincerely,
Kelly Eagan
WCSD Family Survey
Please take about 15 minutes of your time to complete an online survey that will help us improve Buena Vista. We have asked YouthTruth – a national nonprofit that supports hundreds of schools and districts across the county – to conduct an anonymous survey on our behalf. The survey window is May 29th through midnight on Sunday, June 10th. If you have more than one child who attends our school, you may respond to the survey multiple times - one time per child.
Here is the link to our survey: walnutcreeksdfamily18.ytsurvey.org
