Dear Families,

Welcome to the 2019–2020 school year! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to your family. I am Bethany Patterson, the new Calabasas School principal. It is with great enthusiasm and dedication that I take on this position, and I look forward to building a relationship with each one of you. It is my pleasure and greatest honor to welcome you for an exceptional year.

Calabasas staff is ready to open our doors and provide a caring educational environment for both you and your student. We are all excited to have students back in our classrooms, filling them with energy and enthusiasm for learning. We are excited for this new chapter in their lives and are happy to be a part of it. Our mission is to educate students to become active, lifelong learners and to work closely with parents to promote student success.

We encourage you to visit our website, follow us on Facebook, or attend our monthly site council meetings starting in September to learn about our programs and keep updated on events and the calendar.

Together we are looking forward to meeting our Calabasas Cougars and working together to help build trusting, respectful, responsible, fair, and caring citizens. Families are a crucial piece in the success of your child’s education. We want to build a strong relationship and have constant communication to help your child experience academic, social, and emotional growth. We are eager to take care of your child and introduce them to the world of learning.

I’m looking forward to meeting each of you and sharing this wonderful school with you.

Warm Regards,

Bethany Patterson

Bethany Patterson, Principal
