I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Foothill Oaks Elementary. It is a
privilege to join a school community with such a rich tradition of care, dedication, and
educational excellence.

Throughout my career in education, I have been driven by a passion for creating strong,
supportive school environments where every child feels encouraged to thrive. I believe that
great schools are built on meaningful relationships—between students, staff, families, and the
broader community. I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside you to continue
the incredible work already happening at Foothill Oaks.

As principal, my priority is to ensure that our school remains a place where children are
engaged, staff feel empowered, and families are valued partners in the learning journey. I am
committed to open communication, shared leadership, and creating a welcoming, inclusive
environment for all.

In the coming weeks, I hope to meet many of you—at arrival and dismissal, school events, and
around the community. Please don’t hesitate to stop by, introduce yourself, and share what
makes Foothill Oaks special to you. I look forward to building strong connections and continuing
the proud tradition of excellence that defines this school.

I’m excited for the school year ahead and grateful for the opportunity to serve as your principal.

Warmly,
Jean Wiersema
Principal
