Principal's Message

Dear Eagle Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We’re so excited to kick off another great year at “The Nest” and can’t wait to see all the amazing things our students will accomplish. We hope you had a fun and restful summer—and maybe even practiced Habit #7, Sharpen the Saw!

My name is Andrew Mante, and I’m proud to be the Principal of Estudillo Elementary. We’re so happy to have you as part of our school community. Your support and involvement make a huge difference, and we look forward to working together to help your children succeed. This year, we’re continuing to focus on strong literacy skills and making sure students are in school every day, ready to learn. Through programs such as 95% and Magnetic Learning we will by addressing phonics instruction and focusing on foundational skills to ensure our students have the skills to be successful readers as they grow.  

Attendance really matters. Every day your child is at school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. We encourage all families to keep the mindset that “Every Day Counts.” We’re here to support you and are always happy to help if challenges come up.

At Estudillo, we’re committed to helping students grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Our office is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and I always welcome your calls or emails if you have questions, ideas, or concerns. Staying connected helps us better support your child.

We’re also proud to be a Leader in Me school! Our staff loves helping students discover their strengths and build leadership skills. Be sure to ask your child about Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits and our School WIG—they’ll be learning, setting goals, and tracking their progress all year long. It’s exciting to watch our students grow into confident leaders!

Thank you for being such an important part of our school. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year filled with Eagle pride!

GO EAGLES!

Where leaders lead,

Mr. Mante
