Principal's Message

Dear Ottomon Families,

 

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year at Ottomon Way Elementary! It is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that I greet each of you as we embark on another exciting year of learning, growth, and community building.

 

At Ottomon, our goal remains to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. This year, we continue our strong focus on literacy while our dedicated teachers embark on intensive math training to help our students achieve even more. Our committed team of educators is here to support and guide each student on their unique educational journey.

 

We are proud to maintain a strong partnership with our PTA and families, knowing that communication and collaboration between home and school are key to a successful educational experience. We encourage all families to stay engaged by checking the parent portal often, attending school events, participating in parent-teacher conferences, and staying informed through our regular newsletters and updates. Your involvement and support are invaluable to our school community.

 

At Ottomon, we believe every student is a rising star. With “Blast Off to Success” as our theme this year, we’re launching a year of discovery, growth, and achievement—where students, staff, and families explore new frontiers in learning, character, and community. Our mission: to empower every Otternaut to reach for the stars!

 

I am honored to serve as your principal and am committed to making this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy for every student. Together, let us make the 2025-26 school year a memorable and successful one.

 

Welcome back to school, and let’s make it a fantastic year!

 

Warmest regards,
Carrie Manriquez
Principal, Ottomon Way Elementary
