Welcome Message

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year. Our theme this year — “This Is Home” — serves as both a purpose and a promise. It reflects our shared commitment to one another: You belong here. You are welcome here. You are needed here.

 

This message is especially true for our students.

 

At Charter Oak Unified, our focus remains steadfast: ensuring every student thrives. Guided by our Five Pillars, we continue to shape a vision for excellence and equity:

 

1. College and Career Readiness
2. Communication and Collaboration to Strengthen Relationships
3. Leadership Development
4. Student and Staff Safety and Wellness
5. Financial Responsibility and Facilities
 

These pillars drive every decision we make in support of our students’ academic achievement, personal growth, and overall well-being.

 

We also know that student success is a shared effort. I invite all of our Charter Oak families to build strong, meaningful connections with your school and your child’s classroom. Research continues to show that family engagement has a powerful impact on student learning—and we value your partnership.

 

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey. Welcome back to school, and welcome home.

 

 

Warmly,

 

 

Dr. Danny Kim

Superintendent

Charter Oak Unified School District
