Dear Trabuco Families,

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year at Trabuco Elementary! As I begin my third year here at Trabuco and transition into the role of TOSA - Administrative Designee, I am honored to partner with Ms. Jan Tyrone, principal of Cielo Vista Elementary, to lead a school that holds such a strong reputation for academic excellence, environmental stewardship, and a warm, supportive community. 

For many reasons, Trabuco Elementary holds a special place in my heart. I am proud to be a product of Saddleback Valley Unified School District — having attended and graduated from local schools — and now, as a parent of two children who are also thriving within SVUSD, I understand firsthand the importance of strong home-school partnerships and community connections. These experiences shape how I strive to lead: with empathy, transparency, and a firm belief in the power of collaboration. I am committed to supporting the incredible work of our teachers and staff, ensuring that every child at Trabuco Elementary is seen, supported, and celebrated.

As we begin the year, we will continue to encourage students to H.O.W.L. to create a strong learning community in our classrooms and around campus. Our coyotes will focus on what it means to Have Respect, Own Your Actions, Work Together, and Lead with Kindness. I invite you to partner with us in creating a joyful, nurturing, and academically rigorous experience for your child. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, joining PTA, attending school events, or simply talking with your child about their day, your engagement matters and makes a difference. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve this wonderful school community. I look forward to the year ahead and to working together to make it one of growth, learning, and connection for all.

Warmly,

Erin Hansen
