Principal’s Message-Schaefer Charter School

Our school serves approximately 305 students of various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.  We have a veteran staff, many of whom have had children attend Schaefer or are currently enrolled.   Our staff is nurturing, caring, and committed to preparing our students for success via implementation of the Common Core State Standards within 21st Century Learning Skills.  I believe every child can succeed and it is our job as educators to assist every student so they can be  productive, happy and contributing members of society.  I am always available to meet with parents, community, and staff members.  Please feel free to contact me. 

Mr. George R. Valenzuela
