From the Superintendent: Welcome Back to School

Bill KowbaToday, we welcome back more than 132,000 students to our schools. Thank you to all of our teachers, principals, school support staff and central office employees who have been working so hard to make sure that the start of school is a success.


As we start the new school year, I have been sharing the same message with all of our employees. That singular message is that the success of our students should always be at the forefront of our minds. Remember our mission statement as we begin anew, refreshed and refocused:

"All San Diego students will graduate with the skills, motivation, curiosity and resilience to succeed in their choice of college and career in order to lead and participate in the society of tomorrow."

We had great success at our schools last year. Everyone is excited about continuing that positive momentum throughout the 2010/11 school year for our students and families. Parents, thank you for the privilege of serving your children. Welcome back to school!
