Superintendent Message ~ Tom O’Malley
You might grow tired of hearing me say this, but I truly believe: “This District is exceptional, our schools are outstanding, and the opportunities our staff provides to students are unparalleled!” In the past month, I’ve had the joy of witnessing various school teams compete on the fields and courts throughout our campuses. The energy and enthusiasm in these venues are absolutely contagious--many thanks to the student spirit sections at these competitions. These events create a wonderful opportunity for our students, staff, families, and the broader community to unite, support each other, and foster relationships that strengthen our connections as school communities.
One of the standout experiences for me during the recent football games has been enjoying the half-time shows. As a coach, I always missed these performances. The dedication and hard work that cheer and dance teams put into their routines are truly remarkable. The precision and excellence exhibited by our marching bands are nothing short of phenomenal. As a spectator, I find myself in awe, and as the Superintendent, I feel an overwhelming sense of pride. I look forward to continuing to watch our students succeed academically, athletically, and artistically during this school year. In this newsletter, you’ll find valuable information about the offerings and campuses of the Placer School for Adults (PSA). The Auburn campus not only serves PSA, but also hosts a program for the Placer County Office of Education (PCOE) as well as our District’s Transition to Adult Living (TAL) Program. I also had the privilege of connecting with the community by speaking at a Rotary Club meeting, where I shared information about the District’s programs and highlighted the remarkable events taking place on our campuses. Many of I recently had the opportunity to tour the TAL classrooms, meet the dedicated staff, and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the TAL students. Dr. Carrie Warda, the Director of Pupil Services, also serves as TAL’s Principal. It was heartwarming to see that she knew each student by name, and they all recognized and appreciated her presence. Dr. Warda and her team play a crucial role in equipping these students with essential life and social skills, preparing them for their future endeavors.
