Dear Esteemed Students, Staff, Parents, and Community Members,

As we embark on a new academic year filled with boundless possibilities, it is my privilege to extend a heartfelt welcome to our dedicated and vibrant school community. I am absolutely thrilled to join Perris Elementary School District as the Educational Services Assistant Superintendent and am eagerly looking forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of our scholars.

Our journey together represents a shared commitment to nurturing an environment where every student can thrive, learn, and excel. I am excited to collaborate with our exceptional educators, passionate staff members, devoted parents, and, most importantly, our incredible students.

In my role as Educational Services Assistant Superintendent, my foremost priority is to ensure that our educational programs are tailored to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each student. Through innovative strategies, thoughtful support systems, and a student-centered approach, we will work together to provide an enriching and empowering educational experience.

I am a firm believer in the power of collaboration and open communication. We embark on this journey hand in hand, sharing ideas, insights, and dreams, as we strive to create an environment that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.

Let us approach this new school year with a sense of purpose, a commitment to collaboration, and an unwavering dedication to the success of our students. As we navigate challenges and celebrate achievements, I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to elevate the quality of education we offer and the overall experience of our school community. 

I eagerly anticipate the opportunities that lie ahead. We embrace this new school year with enthusiasm, determination, and a shared commitment to the success of every individual in our care.

Here's to an exceptional year of learning, growth, and achievement! 

With gratitude and enthusiasm,

Claudia Velez, Ed.D.
