Principal's Message

Dear Charles Peck Elementary Families,

I am grateful and humbled to have been selected as the permanent principal of our wonderful school. Last year as interim principal, I grew to deeply appreciate our learning community, and I am thrilled to continue leading Charles Peck Elementary into this new chapter.

Our 2026-2027 school year will focus on:

  • Implementing our new math curriculum adoption to strengthen student learning
  • Increasing meaningful opportunities for families to be involved in their students’ learning
  • Addressing learning needs across all grade levels with our dedicated staff
  • Creating a welcoming, inclusive school community where all members feel they belong

We are excited to welcome two new team members to our staff, and we have two staff members taking on different roles:

  • Ms. Kendall, Second Grade Teacher
  • Mrs. Torres, First Grade Teacher
  • Mrs. Votaw, Art Teacher (three days per week)
  • Mrs. Kaur, Kindergarten/First Grade Combination Class Teacher

Our mission is to make Charles Peck a school where every student is excited to come to school and every member of our learning community feels welcomed and valued. We cannot wait to start this incredible journey with all of you!

Warm regards,

Pirkko E. Amaral

Mrs. Pirkko E. Amaral
