Welcome to the 24-25 School Year!

Welcome Back Everyone, we are excited to see you soon and to begin our 2024-25 school year! 
We hope that all of you had a wonderful, memorable and restful summer break. Thank you to 
those who attended our summer academy, our staff was very happy to be with our Seagulls! We 
are thrilled to share our upcoming and exciting school theme. We are all aboard for learning this 
year, “Next Stop…SUCCESS at Ceres! Our theme translates to ‘Próxima parada... ¡ÉXITO en 
Ceres! As your school conductor I am thrilled to lead our team, students and community to SOAR 
ahead as we are on track for another great school year! We believe that every student is ready to 
make progress and achieve great things. Our school is the perfect station to help them reach their 
goals. With the support of our amazing and dedicated teachers, staff, and community, we are 
confident that each student will have a remarkable year filled with growth, learning, and 
achievement. Throughout the year, we will incorporate our Success Train theme into various 
activities and events. Our seagulls will be encouraged to set goals, stay on track, and enjoy the 
ride to success! 

Our Dual Language classrooms continue to grow and are on track for a great year! We would like 
to welcome new staff to our DLI team. Please help me welcome maestra Jimenez who will join 
our Kinder team, maestra Cervantes who will join 1st grade, maestra Madrigal who will join 2nd 
grade, and maestra Torres who will join 4th grade. Also, help us welcome our new Learning 
Center teacher, Mrs. Escalante. I’d like to acknowledge our wonderful custodians Mr.Eric, Mr. Le &
Mr. Tony who have checked all stops at Ceres this summer to ensure that our campus is ready for 
our journey. We appreciate everything they do!

As we travel this journey together, we want you to know that the social and emotional well being 
of our seagulls is always at the forefront. Our staff will continue to make connections with our 
students and also promote our district’s 4 C’s of Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, 
Creativity and we’ve added a 5th at Ceres…Caring. We always want our seagulls to believe in 
themselves and to have a voice in their learning. All Aboard Seagulls for a year of success and
