The Los Altos School District has been engaged in a thorough search for a new Springer Elementary School Principal. I’m pleased to announce that parents, teachers and administrators have all had the opportunity to interview an amazing candidate, who will soon begin her leadership at Springer. 
 
Denise Khalid rose to the top of our search of highly-qualified principal candidates and we believe she is an excellent fit for Springer’s student, teacher, and parent community. With nearly 20 years of experience in education, Ms. Khalid has served as a classroom teacher, assistant principal and most recently, as principal for ten years in the Campbell Union Elementary School District.   Ms. Khalid’s experience will ensure that each student achieves to the highest potential.  
 
With a student-centered approach and interest in ongoing professional growth for staff, Ms. Khalid will continue Springer Elementary School’s record of excellence.  All members of our interview team were impressed with Ms. Khalid, her passion for education and drive to ensure all students receive an excellent education. Letters from colleagues highlighted many positive attributes that our interview team witnessed in person during our meetings with Ms. Khalid. 

Read the recent Town Crier newspaper article for more information. 

We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Khalid, who will begin to prepare immediately for a smooth transition with the current Interim Principal, Mrs. McGonagle. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Khalid to our community, who will officially take the helm of Springer after the December Holiday Break.
 

Thank you to all of our community members who have participated in the Community Engagement Process for Facilities.  We are truly overwhelmed by your enthusiasm and appreciate you adding your voice to this very complex issue.

Due to extremely high demand and participation in our last community engagement workshop, we are hosting a third and final workshop to help us understand levels of support for various potential options to house Bullis Charter School in the long term.  

Final Workshop
Monday, November 18, 2019
Open House:  6-6:30pm
Workshop:  6:30-8:30pm
Egan Junior High School Multipurpose Room
 

The workshop will allow participants to review potential facilities options and show their support for each possibility.  To review materials for the workshop, including translated materials in Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish, please visit our Community Engagement Webpage. 

Please only attend one workshop.  The format is the same for all workshops. There is no need to participate in more than one.  Attendance is limited to 400 people. Please give others the opportunity to participate on November 18th if you have already had the chance to participate in a workshop. Participants and community members are asked not to distribute materials related to the facilities discussion at the workshop.

Thank you for your ongoing support for our students, our schools and our community.

Sincerely,

Jessica Speiser, President
Los Altos School District Board of Trustees
