Vintage Hills Families
Dear Vintage Hills Husky Families,
I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to each and every one of you as I step into the role of Principal at Vintage Hills Elementary School for the upcoming academic year. It is with great enthusiasm and dedication that I look forward to joining such a vibrant and esteemed community.
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Sandy McKay, and I bring with me over three decades of experience in the field of education, with the last 22 years spent serving as an administrator within the Temecula Valley Unified School District. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to fostering an environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
In addition to my role at Vintage Hills Elementary, I am honored to continue serving as the Principal at Home INstead INnovation Academy. This dual role allows me to bring a wealth of diverse experiences and perspectives to both institutions, enriching the educational journey of all our students.
As we begin this journey together, my priority remains centered on collaboration, communication, and student-centered decision-making. I am dedicated to working closely with staff, parents, and the wider community to ensure that Vintage Hills Elementary continues to be a place where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
I am truly excited about the opportunity to partner with you in providing the best possible educational experience for your children. Together, we will build upon the rich traditions of Vintage Hills Elementary and strive for excellence in all that we do.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. My door is always open, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to get to know each and every one of you in the coming months.
Warm regards,
Sandy McKay
