WELCOME BACK EUSD COMMUNITY!
I am humbled and honored to welcome back our students, families, and staff of Encinitas. I am proud to serve the communities of Encinitas and South Carlsbad in the role of Superintendent. Encinitas has had a long-standing tradition of providing an exemplary educational experience for students. From a strong and committed Board of Trustees, to the stellar instructional teams and support staff, to the involved community and families, we are here to create the best school experience possible for our children. It is this common goal that allows EUSD to flourish.
This year we are excited to launch a refreshed vision statement and learner profile. We value the uniqueness and gifts of every child in EUSD and it is our vision to ignite the limitless potential of every learner. Through high-quality teaching and learning experiences, robust systems of support, and an intentional focus on the individual learner we are poised to make this the best year yet for EUSD.
We will continue to be relentless in our commitment to provide a safe environment for our students and staff. We know this is critically important for families as they entrust us with their children. This year we are working alongside the cities of Carlsbad and Encinitas to require bike safety courses for all children bringing their bikes on campus. You can expect more information coming soon on timelines, resources and trainings available.
Our steadfast commitment to educating the whole child remains. We value creating schools that support a feeling of belonging and joy for all. We know it is essential that students feel welcomed and loved in order for them to learn and thrive. This truly helps to build a sense of community within the classroom, school and district as relationships are the foundation for all that we do.
We have outlined the major competencies necessary for all learners (students and staff) which include being a(n): Empowered Learner, Global Citizen, Innovative Thinker, Skilled Communicator, Wellness Advocate, Confident Collaborator. These all combine to ensure learners can reach their full potential and be future-ready for the complexities and challenges in school and beyond. We will be sharing examples of how we are preparing students for these competencies throughout the year and we look forward to seeing student success and engagement reach new heights.
I look forward to working together to ensure every student and staff member has an exceptional school and work experience this year.
Warmly,
Andrée Grey, Ed.D.
Superintendent
