Principal's Message

Dear Norseman Families,

Welcome to a brand-new school year! I’m Maribel Tostado Rodriguez, and I’m incredibly honored and excited to begin this journey with you as your new Principal. While I’ve had the joy of working alongside many of you as Vice Principal, stepping into this new role fills me with gratitude and great anticipation for what lies ahead.

Our school is truly a special place, and that’s because of the amazing students, supportive families, and dedicated staff who bring it to life every day. As we kick off the year, I want you to know how committed I am to building on the strong foundation we’ve created together—and continuing to grow a community where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn.

This year, we’ll celebrate new goals, make joyful memories, and work together to ensure our students reach their fullest potential. I can't wait to welcome our students back with smiles, energy, and open hearts. Let’s make this school year one to remember!

Here’s to a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter, and success together.

With warmth and excitement,
Maribel Tostado Rodriguez
Principal
