Welcome Back!

All In. Every Play. Every Day.

Every Play Creates a Ripple. Every Student Benefits.

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I am thrilled to be a part of the winning roster for the third year. We are so excited to welcome back our returning Dolphin families and we look forward to meeting all of our new students and families. As we step up to the plate for a new year, we are ready for another amazing season of learning, growth, and connection.

At Stone Avenue Elementary, we believe every student has the ability to shine. Just like a baseball team, every player matters, every role is important, and every play makes a difference. When we work together as a team—students, families, and staff—we create a ripple effect that supports student success and strengthens our entire community.

Our team is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where every Dolphin feels valued, supported, and ready to reach new goals. This year, we will continue to encourage our students to give their best effort, celebrate their growth, and know that every day is another opportunity to make a positive impact.

We are excited for the memories we will create, the milestones we will celebrate, and the many victories we will achieve together. Dolphins, let’s step onto the field and make this a championship year!

With excitement,

Corrine Ortiz
