Principal’s Message 

Dear Bubb Families,


As we close out the 2024 year, I wanted to thank our Bubb Community for their support.  Bubb strives to be a warm and welcoming environment for everyone.  We thank the PTA for their unwavering support, and we appreciate the countless hours our parent volunteers clock in.  Our teachers and staff keep the children at the center of their work, and we are grateful for their service.  

 

Our school year is not done yet, and we have many exciting opportunities in the new year!  Our first goal will be to decide on Prop 28 and how we can enhance the arts at Bubb.  We will also look at the Outdoor Learning plans again, and make site wide decisions that will impact our student learning.  And I know our excellent teaching will speak volumes in the upcoming testing season.  


I would like to wish everyone a safe and rejuvenating Winter Break.  I am grateful for you, and thank you for your continued trust in us.  Together We Grow.  Together We Soar.  


Happy Holidays,

Principal Jung
