WALKTHROUGH 2022

TORO FAMILY...
First, I would like to introduce myself as the new Principal of El Dorado. Some of you may know me formerly as Ms. Gemma (now Mrs. Estenson) and I have had the pleasure of spending the last 6 years as the Vice Principal and am very excited to continue our work and serving our wonderful community in the new role of Principal. I am looking forward to connecting and working as a team this year to meet and support the needs of your students. I am confident this will be a great year of learning and fun. We are eagerly awaiting our students on the first day of school.
As we are at the tail end of summer, we wanted to send out some information concerning our return to school in person on August 11th. Most importantly, we wanted to highlight what you all can do BEFORE walkthrough in preparation for the start of school and to make it even easier for you when we start to come back. The Office will resume normal hours of 8-3 starting on Monday, August 1st. If you have any immediate questions please email a staff member.
Below you will find several resources, links, and directions to support your student coming back to school on August 11th. There is a lot of information below, please be sure to read/click through it all to ensure you have all the necessary information. We are SUPER excited to welcome your students back for the 2022-23 school year! Have a wonderful last bit of summer!
