Principal's Message
July 27, 2026

Dear Fillmore Parents and Students,

Welcome Back, Fillmore Lions - ROAR!

On behalf of Fillmore Elementary, it is my honor to welcome our students and families to the new 2026-2027 school year. We hope you had a safe and healthy summer break and enjoyed the well-needed rest and time with family. We also hope you are looking forward, along with us, to a new school year at Fillmore with familiar faces as well as new students.

Speaking of new faces, please help me welcome Mr. Mosqueda to Fillmore as our new Assistant Principal. He was an Assistant Principal at Commodore Skills last year and has previously been a Program Specialist and Teacher.  He is bilingual in Spanish and is very eager to help our students and families.

Our students have made tremendous academic gains thanks to the support of parents and our outstanding teaching staff. 

We have the same school hours which are:  9:05AM - 3:05PM. Our front gates open at 8:35AM and students may have breakfast from 8:35AM - 9:05AM. Front-of-the-school morning supervision will only be available at 8:30AM. Students will be supervised inside the campus starting at 8:35AM. Therefore, for safety reasons, all children should arrive at Fillmore no earlier than 8:30AM unless they are registered and enrolled in our Before School Program. Please register your interest at the ELOP page. I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Please also be aware of Stockton Unified School District's safety mandate:  Fillmore is a closed campus and parents will not be allowed to enter the school campus unless for pre-arranged parent conferences or parent meetings such as IEPs, Coffee Hour, SSC, PTA, and ELAC. I ask you for your cooperation, and thank you in advance for your understanding to help ensure the safety of our children.

Speaking of parent meetings, I invite all parents to join us at all school activities and parent meetings for this new school year. Please come to our monthly Coffee Hour meetings, English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meetings, and the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meetings. Our ELAC and PTA committees welcome all new and returning parents to these meetings and encourage you to join and participate in these groups. All meetings will occur in the school cafeteria on the last Friday of each month. In addition, we will host a variety of events that showcase the instruction in your child's classroom and their learning, such as Literacy, Math, and Science nights. There are many more activities planned for this school year, and we will keep you informed through our phone message system, our school website, and ParentSquare. We welcome all new and returning parents to join and be part of our school parent meetings!

Please make sure that you are registered with Parent Square.

I am beyond pleased and so proud to announce that our Fillmore Robotics Team is No. 1 in the nation for the second time! Fillmore took the gold medal in Robotics:  Urban Search & Rescue at SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. We are looking to three-peat this year. GO LIONS!

On behalf of our school staff, we will work hard to continue to provide your child with the very best educational experience here at Fillmore.

Sincerely,

Ms. Thongthip Duangsawat, Principal
