Message from the Principal

Welcome Chamisa Families! 


The Chamisa staff is excited to welcome your children to a brand-new school year! We believe every child can develop the confidence, courage, connection, and competence needed to thrive in learning and in life. Together, we will continue learning how to bounce forward through both challenges and celebrations.


To help empower these skills, our school-wide theme for the 2026–2027 school year is:


Be the Bounce
B – Build Confidence
O – Own Your Actions
U – Unleash Your Superpowers
N – Never Give Up
C – Care for Your Community
E – Engage in Learning

We look forward to partnering with you to make this a joyful, successful, and memorable year for every student.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. We value our partnership 

We can't wait to welcome everyone back and begin another wonderful year of learning, growing, and Being the Bounce!

Enjoy the remaining days of summer and we'll see you soon!

Warmly,
Liz Meek and the Chamisa Team
