Principal's Message
Dear Meairs Families,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. I’m absolutely thrilled to begin another year as your principal at this incredible school, where a dedicated staff and caring community play a vital role in our students’ success.
At Meairs, our focus remains on creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment where every student feels valued, heard, and supported. Our school motto—Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Your Best!—guides our daily actions and reflects our commitment to building strong character and maintaining high expectations for all.
This year, we’re excited to continue strengthening our academic programs with an emphasis on AVID strategies and increased opportunities for career-connected learning. We also aim to deepen student and family engagement—because education is a journey we take together.
Communication is key. Please stay connected by checking ParentSquare, our weekly newsletter, and the school website for updates on events, policies, and resources. Follow our school Instagram pages for highlights from campus life, and ensure your contact information is current in the Aeries Parent Portal to receive timely updates.
We’re here to support you. Our office staff is always ready to assist, and our community liaisons offer translation, family resources, and connections to support services:

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead—one where all Meairs students feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Warmly,
Nicole Alvarado
