Staying Connected
At Price Elementary School, Interim Principal Jose Iguina takes time to welcome students as they arrive and connect with them throughout the school day. His presence extends into hallways and classrooms, where he greets students and staff and takes an interest in what students are learning.
Those daily interactions prompted a colleague to nominate Mr. Iguina for a Staff Shoutout, recognizing the attention he gives to building relationships across the school.
“He is present in our school and values building relationships with students and staff,” the nominator shared. “He is intentional about making others feel seen.”
During classroom visits, Mr. Iguina takes time to see both what students are learning and how they’re learning it. These visits allow him to get to know students through their classroom experiences and stay connected to the work of teachers and staff.
For the colleague who nominated him, his everyday presence reflects SDoL’s commitment to celebrating every learner and creating a welcoming school community.
Thank you, Mr. Iguina, for building relationships that help Price students and staff feel recognized and valued.
