My name is Ryan Kissel. I am the lucky principal of Sequoia Elementary school. I'm fortunate to be at Sequoia because this community of students, educators and families all work together to create an environment that provides our children with the necessary academic and social skills to become competent, confident and happy citizens. Here at Sequoia, Home of the Dragons, our students are learning and having fun at the same time. They are not only challenged in their classrooms, but they are also exploring other skills that tap into their interests that enhance their mind and body. For example, we have a fitness program, that incorporates a running club, and a VAPA program that includes theater, dance, music and art.
In summary, Sequoia is a California Distinguished School, a Title I Academic School award winner and a Family Friendly School. We are proud to be Dragons and we continue to learn and grow as a community in order to ensure that all our children are provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to lead a healthy, happy life!
