Bienvenidos a un nuevo año escolar en Gridley-Montañez Dual Language Academy!

Greetings Gridley-Montañez Community,

As I begin my sixth year as principal of Gridley-Montañez Dual Language Academy, I am filled with gratitude and pride. What a journey it’s been! Together, we’ve grown stronger, more united, and more committed to the success of every student who walks through our doors. ¡Qué orgullo ser parte de esta hermosa comunidad!

First and foremost, to our wonderful students—thank you! I see your effort, your curiosity, and your kindness each and every day. You inspire us all with your determination to learn and grow. Remember, success is not just about grades—it’s about becoming your best self, building strong character, and believing in your potential.

To our amazing parents and guardians—gracias de corazón. Your support, trust, and collaboration mean everything. We know that when school and home work hand in hand, our children thrive. Let’s continue to communicate, celebrate achievements, and work together to support our scholars.

To our dedicated staff—thank you for the love, dedication, and professionalism you bring into our classrooms daily. You are the heart of our school, and your commitment makes all the difference in the lives of our students. You are mentors, role models, and champions for children—and I appreciate every one of you.

Over the past few years, we’ve faced challenges—but we’ve faced them together. We’ve shown that resilience, flexibility, and unity are the keys to success. This year, we continue our commitment to fostering a learning environment that is inclusive, engaging, and empowering—a place where all students feel seen, heard, and valued.

As your principal, I remain deeply committed to continuous improvement—whether it’s our programs, our campus, or the way we serve our families. Your voice matters. Together, let’s continue to build a joyful, safe, and enriching school where every child shines.
