Welcome Back!

Dear North Wasco Families:

As we prepare for another exciting school year, I want to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome back to each of you. We are thrilled to embark on this journey together, and we are more committed than ever to the success and well-being of each student in our district.

This year, we unite around three key priorities that continue to guide our work:

  • Student Well-being and Engagement

  • Educational Excellence

  • Innovation in the Classroom

These priorities are not just goals—they reflect our shared vision to know each student by name, by strength, and by need. We believe each student has the potential to succeed, and it’s our collective responsibility to support them on their individual paths to success.

In partnership with you, our families, we know that the power of education lies in connection—between teachers, students, families, and the community. We ask for your continued support in practicing care and connection. When challenges arise—and they will—let’s commit to showing each other grace and patience, understanding that together, we can overcome any obstacle.

As we move forward, let’s celebrate the small wins, for they accumulate to become the big wins. Each moment of progress, each step toward growth, is an achievement worth celebrating. I encourage you to be part of the journey, to engage with us and your child’s learning experience, and to celebrate every milestone along the way.

This year, we invite you to be active partners in elevating our district to levels of excellence. Whether it's by participating in school events, volunteering, or simply reaching out with your thoughts, questions, or concerns, your involvement is invaluable. We are here to support your student and ensure that their academic and emotional well-being are always a top priority.



We are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead and the chance to continue building on the foundation of success that we’ve worked so hard to establish together. Please know that your student’s well-being and academic success will always be at the forefront of our work.

Together, we will create a year full of meaningful learning, growth, and success.

With deep appreciation,

Dr. Carolyn Bernal

Superintendent
