Principal's Message

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Bandini Elementary School. It is with great enthusiasm that I join this vibrant and dedicated community, and I look forward to the journey we will share together in supporting our students' growth and success.

As an educator with 26 years of experience in elementary education, I have served as a teacher, instructional leader, and administrator. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to creating safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environments where every child feels valued and empowered. I believe that strong relationships with families, staff, and the broader community are essential to building a school culture that fosters academic excellence, curiosity, and kindness.

From the moment I stepped onto the Bandini Elementary campus, I felt the warmth, pride, and dedication that make this school truly special. I am eager to listen and learn from you—to hear your hopes, your concerns, and your dreams for our school. Together, we will build upon the great work already underway and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible—whether at school events, during drop off in the morning or pick up in the afternoon, or during community gatherings. My door is always open, and I welcome your partnership, your feedback, and your ideas.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve this incredible community. Let’s make it a fantastic year ahead!

Sincerely,

 Mr. Errik Watari
