Principal

Welcome to Sycamore Elementary School, where our stallions RACE to success! I am the proud, new principal, excited to be working alongside the dedicated and committed staff, students and families of Sycamore.  Your Sycamore team is thrilled to have you and your child as part of our school community.  

Sycamore’s vision is to provide meaningful learning through positive relationships as we work to achieve Upland Unified goals of ensuring all students are:

• Safe, Connected & Engaged

• Academically Prepared & Equipped

• College & Career Empowered

We believe that education is a collaborative effort between the school, parents, families, and students.  Your involvement and support play a crucial role in providing a successful and enriching academic experience for your child.  Together, we can create an environment where every student can learn, grow and thrive.  RACE to Success is our motto where students Respect, Act Kindly, Cooperate and demonstrate Excellent Effort. We approach behavior in a proactive, restorative, and positive way where support is provided for all students to achieve academic, social, emotional and behavioral success.   

We look forward to building and strengthening our partnerships with each of you.  Thank you for entrusting our Sycamore team with your child’s education.  We eagerly anticipate a year filled with growth, discovery, and achievement.  Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me, your child’s teacher, or our school office.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
