Hello Cougar Families,

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year! I am truly honored to continue serving as the principal of Calabasas School, and I look forward to another exciting and successful year with our entire learning community.

As I begin my third year at Calabasas, I’m incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made together and excited to continue building on that momentum. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare for a strong start to the year, creating learning environments that support, challenge, and inspire every student.

At Calabasas School, everything we do is guided by our school motto: P.R.I.D.E. – Perseverance, Relationships, Integrity, Daring Mentality, and Empathy. These values are at the heart of our school culture, and we encourage all of our Cougars and Cougar Cubs to live them out every day—both on campus and in the community.

This year, we are committed to offering many meaningful opportunities for families to be involved in school life. Whether it’s through attending athletic events, joining academic parent meetings, or participating in schoolwide celebrations, your involvement makes a real difference. When families are engaged, students thrive; and our school grows stronger.

Please know that we value open communication. If you ever have questions, concerns, or ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your partnership and continued support in making Calabasas the best it can be for all of our learners.

To our returning Cougar families; thank you for your trust and support. And to our new families; welcome! We are so excited to have you join the Calabasas community.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—full of fun, learning, and growth!

Cougar Pride, 

Jonathan Chavez

Calabasas School Principal
