Welcome

Dear Gavilan Peak Families,

With great excitement and heartfelt enthusiasm, I introduce myself as the new principal of Gavilan Peak. I am honored to join this vibrant and dedicated school community. I look forward to building strong relationships with each of you as we work together to support our students’ success.

With multiple years of experience in education—as a teacher, instructional leader, and most recently as an administrator—I bring a deep commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive, and academically challenging environment where every child feels valued, heard, and inspired to grow. Schools thrive when families, educators, and students are united in purpose, and I am eager to listen, learn, and lead—together with you.

Over the coming weeks, I look forward to getting to know our students, staff, and families. My door is always open, and I welcome your ideas, feedback, and involvement. Whether we’re greeting each other at morning drop-off, cheering at school events, or collaborating on school improvement efforts, I hope to build a strong, transparent partnership with you.

Please be on the lookout for more information about the upcoming school year, including opportunities to meet me in person before and after school begins. I am excited about all that lies ahead and feel truly privileged to be a part of this community.

Thank you for the warm welcome I’ve already received. Let’s make this a year full of growth, joy, and learning—for every child.

Warm Regards,
Mrs. Kelly Zywczyk
