Dear Coyote Families, 

 It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Kettleman City Elementary School. I am honored to join this vibrant and dynamic community, and I look forward to working alongside such a dedicated community of students, parents, teachers, and staff. 

My name is Esmeralda Nungaray, and I bring with me a deep passion for learning, a commitment to student success, and a belief in the power of collaboration and community. I truly believe that education extends far beyond textbooks and classrooms. It is about nurturing an environment that values each student’s unique abilities, interests, and aspirations. My goal as your Principal is to create a school culture that supports academic excellence, social-emotional growth, and the development of critical life skills. 

I believe in the power of teamwork and open communication to drive positive change and improve student outcomes. Together, we will further develop a learning community where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. 

I am committed to working closely with our exceptional team of educators to ensure that each student receives a high-quality education. Furthermore, I invite parents to actively engage in their child’s educational journey and welcome your insights, ideas, and feedback. Your partnership is vital in creating a supportive and enriching learning environment for our students. 

I am truly excited to join the Kettleman City Elementary School community and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.

Sincerely,

Esmeralda Nungaray

Principal Kettleman City Elementary School
