Principal's Message

Dear Bear Valley Community,

I hope this message finds you well and that you’ve had a restful and enjoyable summer.  My name is Muriel Vega, and I am honored and thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Bear Valley Elementary.

My two decades in education have taught me so much about the importance of the human connection. Having worked with students, parents, teachers, classified staff, and administrative personnel as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, site/district/county professional development specialist, Assistant Principal, and Principal, I understand that everyone contributes to the life of a child.

It is a privilege to join such a vibrant and dedicated community, and I am eager to work alongside you to continue the tradition of excellence at Bear Valley. Over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to meet many members of our school community, and I have been inspired by your commitment to education and the well-being of our students.

As we begin this new chapter together, I am committed to fostering a school environment where every student feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. Our teachers and staff have been preparing diligently to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that promotes both academic achievement and personal growth.

As we stand on the brink of a new school year, I want to extend a warm welcome back to all our students, families, and staff. The beginning of a school year is always a special time—a fresh start filled with possibilities. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to continue to cultivate a place where every student can thrive.

Our partnership with you, our families and community members, is vital to the success of our students. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education and to communicate with us regularly. Together, we can continue to nurture a dynamic environment that supports every student’s journey to success. I am filled with optimism and enthusiasm for what we will accomplish together. 

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming Back to School Night on September 12, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm. 

Thank you for welcoming me into your community. I am excited about the journey ahead and confident that, together, we will make this school year a great one.

Warm regards,

Muriel Vega
