Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Divisadero Middle School—Home of the Trojans!

As we begin a new school year, our theme is “Every Day Counts.” This focus speaks to the importance of showing up, staying engaged, and making each day matter—both academically and personally. Our goal is to build strong, structured, and engaging classrooms where every student feels safe, supported, and challenged to grow.

This year, we’re continuing to strengthen our commitment to CARE: Character, Achievement, Respect, and Effort. These expectations guide how we treat one another, how we show up in class, and how we take ownership of our learning and behavior. You’ll see CARE reflected in our classrooms, hallways, and community events.

We also know that student success is a team effort. Families are an essential part of our school community, and we encourage you to get involved—whether that’s through PTSA, School Site Council, volunteering at events, or just staying in touch with your child’s progress. If you're not sure where to start, reach out. We’re here to help you find the right fit.

Let’s work together to make this a great year for every student. We’re glad you’re here.

Warmly,
Kyle Yanes
Principal
Divisadero Middle School
