Yates Mill Elementary Principal

Thanks for the opportunity to share Yates Mill’s work around family and community engagement at today’s Summit, ⁦@WCPSS⁩! We left energized, with new thought partners and incredibly inspired by ⁦⁦@TommieMabry⁩.

Digging deep into our 3rd grade mClass data to better understand student needs and where to go next! Setting new goals and strategically planning….Let’s go! #CommitToTheClimb ⛰️

Just like old times! 🤣 The pandemic absolutely taught us how to pivot. The work continues at Yates Mill. We’re committed to the climb! ⛰️⛰️⛰️

Our school counselors are difference-makers every single day. ♥️ Thank you, Mrs. Morgan and Ms. Haag, for supporting our Yates Mill students and staff by helping us climb to reach our goals with such care, wisdom and dedication! ⁦@WCPSS⁩ ⁦⁦

Carpool Casanova 🎤 was such a fun way to start the morning! Even though we had to move things inside because of the cold 🥶, everyone had a blast! Thank you Ms. Landeros, the Specialist Team, & @YMESPTA for helping organize a fun morning arrival! @MIX1015WRALFM

Way to Climb, 3rd grade! Every class reached their individual math assessment goals so we carved out some time to collectively MOVE THOSE FLAGS! 🎊

Congrats to this second grade team! 95% of their students demonstrated proficiency on their most recent assessment on NBT7! Even more impressive, ALL student groups demonstrated greater than 80% proficiency. 🥳 Well done!

It’s never too early to stress the importance of community service! Our school’s Food Drive runs through Friday, 11/21/25. There’s still time to donate! ⁦@WCPSS⁩

We’re thrilled to announce our 2025-26 Teacher of the Year, Ms. Carlile and our Instructional Assistant of the Year, Ms. Putman! 🎉 Their passion, dedication and commitment to Yates Mill Elementary doesn’t go unnoticed.🎊⁦@YMESPTA⁩ ⁦@SWAWCPSS⁩

This is what happens when you invite your ⁦staff to your wedding….. I had no clue they’d really want to come. 💕This memory will never get old!⁦ 11.11.16 ⁦@WalnutCreekES⁩ @WCPSS⁩

Hosted our 2nd Hispanic Family Night tonight and I think this might just become a monthly gathering! ❤️Parents chose a Friday night session in November about math strategies so we better start planning! We appreciate our parents being “Committed to the Climb!”

Our amazing ⁦@YMESPTA⁩ has done it again! 🎉 Job well done organizing our 21st Annual Fun Run. Although a heavy lift, 100% of all proceeds go straight towards supporting Yates Mill. Thank you staff, students and parents!

@Yates_Mill stands together for #UnityDay! 💛🧡 We wear orange to show that kindness, acceptance, and inclusion matter every day. #YMESStrong #KindnessMatters
