A Message from Principal Fuentes
From the very first bell to the final farewell, it’s been a memorable year! As the 23/24 school year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the journey we've shared. It's with mixed emotions that I write this final message to you as your principal.
To my dear students-- over the seven years as principal of Calavera Hills Elementary, I've had the privilege of witnessing your growth, resilience, and achievements. Some of you I’ve known since your first day of kindergarten and some I met when you moved into the community. Each one of you has contributed in your own way to the unique and beautiful tapestry of our school community. Whether it was excelling in academics, shining on the stage, showcasing your leadership, or lending a helping hand, your impact has made Calavera the best school. I have so many fond memories over the years, but the best part was getting to see your joy and confidence grow from participating in all the fun groups and activities around campus like the Coyote Leadership Team, Dance Crew, No Place for Hate, Coyote Choir, Safety Patrol, and more! Not to mention grooving at the Glow Dance, getting hands-on at Science Day, and cheering each other on at the Talent Show.
I am proud to say that WE are Calavera! We are a community that cares for one another, sticks together, and takes pride in our achievements. May we never forget the values that define us: respect, kindness, and inclusion. Our coyote mascot represents this perfectly – while each one of us is unique and special as an individual, as a pack, we thrive!
As I pass the torch to a new leader, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you– students, staff, and families. Your passion, enthusiasm, and dedication have inspired me more than words can express and made this truly the best job. I will think back on my CHE tenure fondly.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal. Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our school community. Thank you for the love you've shown me over the years. Thank you for yet another unforgettable chapter in our story!
WE ARE CALAVERA!
With Coyote pride, love, and appreciation,
Principal Fuentes
Welcome, Principal Nelson!
I am thrilled to welcome Mr. Aaron Nelson to Calavera Hills Elementary School as our new principal. With an impressive 11-year tenure in the Carlsbad school district, Mr. Nelson's got his administrative start as the Assistant Principal at Aviara Oaks Middle School and was later promoted to be the principal at Magnolia Elementary School. Renowned for his innovative approach, inclusivity, and fun spirit, Mr. Nelson prioritizes school culture and community. Having had the privilege of working alongside him for several years as colleagues, I am beyond excited for his leadership at Calavera Hills Elementary. I look forward to the ways he will continue to foster community growth, enhance student achievement, and introduce innovative opportunities for all. CHE is in great hands!
