Principal's Message
It is a pleasure and great to honor to serve as your principal for my 3rd school year. We have come a long way to reach where we are today and I owe it all to the way we've worked together as a school community. I want to thank all of you for assuring our school continues to offer our students a positive and safe environment. This year our PTA fundraised enough to have all of our students participate in amazing field trips to Knott's Berry Farm, the Los Angeles Zoo, and so many more educational and exciting locations. Without your support and continued encouragement this would not have been possible. Our students have really benefitted from the unity our community has been a part of & how we galvanize for the common good of our students.
We will be having summer school at Winter Gardens. You can see the calendar below that has all the dates summer school will take place at WGE. Students have been invited to summer school based on individualized needs. If you received an invitation, please make sure to complete your form. If you have not received an invitation and are interested in your child participating in summer school, please call our office to see if your child qualifies.
We will be having a community celebration on Wednesday, June 5th, in the grass area. This celebration will be to celebrate Ms. Benitez, who is retiring. We plan on having music, punch, and snacks. We hope you can join us for this festive event.
We are a community-based school that welcomes families and all of our school partners to be part of this amazing family we call Winter Gardens. I want to once again thank you for your amazing support and look forward to continuing to be your principal next school year to have another amazing school year! Have a happy and safe summer!!
In partnership,
Dr. Cortez, Principal
