Welcome to the Start of a New Adventure for the 2025–2026 School Year!

Dear College View Families,

I am delighted to welcome you to what promises to be an inspiring and successful school year! As we begin this new adventure together, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about my journey.

This year marks my 21st year in education, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences and lessons along the way. I’ve had the privilege of teaching at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, which has provided me with a broad perspective on the academic journey our students take. Each step has reaffirmed my passion for helping children thrive and reach their fullest potential.

I feel truly honored to serve as part of the OVSD team and the College View family. Our school is built on a foundation of strong community partnerships, a commitment to academic excellence, and a focus on nurturing the growth and development of every child. This year, our theme is “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” which beautifully captures the excitement, possibilities, and opportunities that await our students as they learn and grow. Together, we will encourage them to dream big, take on challenges, and discover new paths toward success.

My door is always open. If you have comments, questions, or concerns throughout the year, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I can be reached at (714) 847-3505 or by email at amendrin@ovsd.org. Your feedback and partnership are invaluable, and I am here to support you and your children every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. I look forward to an incredible year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences.

 

Warm regards,

 

Thank you,

Allen Mendrin
