T.L. Waggoner Elementary School

Welcome to T.L. Waggoner Elementary School!

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of T.L. Waggoner Elementary. I was born and raised here in the Imperial Valley, and this community has shaped who I am both personally and professionally. Over the years, I have had the privilege of serving students and families in many different capacities—as a teacher at McCabe Union School District, an instructional coach and trainer with Central Union High School District and the Imperial County Office of Education, and most recently as principal and interim superintendent at San Pasqual Valley Unified School District in Winterhaven. These experiences have given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for the vital role schools play in a child’s life.

At Waggoner, we are committed to increasing student achievement through a purposeful and effective instructional program that engages all students in academically rigorous learning. We strive to do this in a loving, orderly, and supportive environment where every child feels valued and capable. I believe the best way to achieve this is by working as a team—school and family together. Strong communication between teachers and parents is the foundation for student success, and I encourage you to connect often with your child’s teachers.

I also invite you to be part of our vibrant Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Your involvement not only strengthens our school community but also enriches the educational experience for all of our students.

I am honored to serve the T.L. Waggoner community and look forward to building strong partnerships with each of you. Together, we will make this an exceptional year for our students.

 

Warm regards,
Queana Givens-Jarvis
