Principal's Message

Dear Windmill Springs School Community,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I look forward to meeting everyone and working together to continue making Windmill Springs Elementary School a place where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that success starts with a strong foundation built on relationships, equity, and high expectations.I am originally from Bakersfield, California and have been living in the Bay Area for 14 years. I taught middle school Social Studies and Spanish Dual Immersion. Before joining Windmill Springs, I was an Assistant Principal with a neighboring school district.My goal at Windmill Springs Elementary is to maintain a positive and inclusive environment where every student feels safe, valued, and has the ability to grow. We will provide the support and opportunities needed for each child to succeed through collaboration and team work. My priorities include creating and maintaining an equity based learning environment. Promoting social-emotional development and building a school community where everyone feels like they belong. I believe in open communication and will always make myself available to speak with members of our community. Please reach out to me by phone, Email, or in person. I look forward to getting to know all of Windmill Springs' families.Go Wildcats!

Sincerely,

Jose Sanchez
