Message from Principal

🐨 Principal’s Message: Welcome to the Second Nine Weeks!

Dear Koa Elementary Families,

Welcome to the second nine weeks of the 2026–2027 school year! I am incredibly proud of the growth, hard work, and progress our Koalas have demonstrated during the first nine weeks. We are truly Wild About Learning, and our students continue to show us that great things happen when we work together!

As we begin this new grading period, our focus remains on providing high-quality instruction, closely monitoring student progress, and providing immediate, meaningful feedback to help every child grow. Our teachers are using student data to adjust instruction, address learning gaps, and celebrate successes along the way. We are excited to see the academic gains our students will demonstrate on the upcoming FAST Progress Monitoring 2 (PM2) assessments!

Attendance Matters—Every Student, Every Day!

Families, we need your continued partnership! Every instructional minute counts, and consistent attendance is essential to student success. Please ensure your child arrives at school on time, ready to learn, every day. Missing even one day means missing valuable learning opportunities. Together, we can build strong habits that lead to academic excellence!

🎃 Join Us for Our Annual Trunk or Treat!

We are especially excited about our upcoming Annual Trunk or Treat celebration on Friday, October 23, at 5:00 PM! We cannot wait to welcome our Koala families for an evening of fun, laughter, treats, and community fellowship. Events like these remind us that Koa Elementary is more than a school—we are a family!

As we move forward, I encourage our families to continue reading with their children nightly, practicing math facts, reviewing schoolwork, and maintaining open communication with teachers. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference!

Our goal is simple: Every student growing, every classroom thriving, and every day making a difference! We have so much to celebrate, and even more to accomplish. I am confident that with our dedicated teachers, hardworking students, and supportive families, we will continue reaching new heights.

We are WILD about learning, WILD about growth, and WILD about getting that B!

Thank you for being an essential part of our Koa family. Here’s to an amazing second nine weeks!

With Koala Pride,

Dr. Annette Kalloo-Molina
Principal, Koa Elementary School

Testimonials

Student

“I love Koa because all of my teachers are really nice and they help me learn new things. They help me get higher grades.”

Parent

“One of the main important goals for myself in education, especially when it comes to my children, is to be as involved as we can be. This is something that they do day in and day out, but our babies come here for eight plus hours, and that's important to me to know, number one, who I'm with, and then not only that, but who our children are being raised alongside and helping them in any way. It's a very big community that we have here that we all love to kind of be a part of. I love Koa because we get to work side by side, along with students who are willing to go above and beyond and push the creative limits as well as adults who are willing to go above and beyond.” “It (Discovery Labs) has gotten kids more on computers and instead of gearing their thought process towards YouTube, it’s given them a platform to create something and then be able to physically see it come to life.”

Student

“I love the Discovery Lab, it’s super fun because I get to build robots and do some special stuff on the computers, and it’s really entertaining and fun. My teachers always push me to go beyond my expectations, and that helps me. I also love Koa because the teachers are super nice, and they help me learn a lot. I look forward to doing the after-school Dance club, and it’s fun because dance helps me get more energy to focus when I’m in a classroom.”

Parent

“Koa is very family-oriented; Koa supports the kids who need help. Koa has a lot of extracurricular activities for the kids. Speaking from personal experience, my fourth grader is in dance, my little one runs cross-country and track. They love coming to school because they have something to look forward to. I love Koa because my kids love Koa.”
