Principal's Message

Trang Nguyen, Ph.D.: Frank E. Woodruff Elementary Principal

Welcome to Frank E. Woodruff Elementary, a state of California Gold Ribbon and Title I Academic Achievement School.  Our goal is to support the Woodruff Community through high quality instruction and social-emotional support, with a focus on learning for all students. We are dedicated to ensuring that our students and staff are thriving in a safe and welcoming environment, and families are engaged and connected to our school community.

This year's theme is Growth and Learning: Always evolving, always excelling. This reflects our commitment to fostering an environment where every student is encouraged to grow, learn, and reach their full potential. We believe that education is a continuous journey of evolution, where each experience helps shape and refine our skills, knowledge, and character.

Throughout the year, we will focus on creating opportunities for students to challenge themselves, embrace new ideas, and strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. Whether it's in the classroom, during extracurricular activities or in their personal development, we are dedicated to supporting them every step of the way.

We encourage you to join us in this journey by getting involved in our school community. There are many ways to participate, such as:

• Joining our PTA: This is a great way to connect with other parents and support school activities.

• Attending English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meetings: Your insights are valuable in supporting our English learners.

• Becoming a member of the School Site Council (SSC): Help shape the direction of our school by participating in important decision-making processes.

We look forward to working together with you to ensure that this year is one of tremendous growth and achievement for your child. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.

Wishing all the best,

Trang Nguyen, Ph.D.

Proud Principal
