Dear Gardner Bullis Families,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Our Gardner Bullis team is excitedly preparing for the 2026 – 2027 school year, and we look forward to our first day of school on Wednesday, August 12th.
I am thrilled to begin this year as your Principal at Gardner Bullis. As I shared previously, I began my teaching career in the Los Altos School District more than 20 years ago, and Los Altos has always held a special place in my heart. Returning as a Principal feels like a true full-circle moment. During my first week, it has been so special to reconnect with familiar faces, share lots of hugs with people I have not seen in years, meet teachers and families, and experience the warmth, kindness, and joy that make this community so special. It is truly wonderful to be back!
I look forward to meeting
you and
your families in the weeks ahead! We’ll kick things off with
Sweet to Be Back event on
Sunday, August 9th, from 3 - 5 PM on campus. Thanks to our PTA for making this event possible - we hope to see you there! Also, please check and subscribe to our Google Calendar
here to stay up to date on important dates and events. If you haven’t already, please complete your Annual Student Form in PowerSchool as soon as possible.
At Gardner Bullis, we are committed to providing every student with an exceptional learning experience, a commitment that requires support beyond public funding. LAEF and our PTAs have long shared the work of raising those funds. This year, fundraising responsibility for instructional programs and materials is shifting from PTAs to LAEF.
As you consider your school donations this year, we encourage families to prioritize giving to LAEF to support instructional programs and materials, such as arts curriculum and technology devices. Then please join the Gardner Bullis PTA and volunteer! Creating an exceptional school experience takes all of us.
