Dear Capri  Families,

I’m writing to let you know that our Assistant Principal, Lisa Wiseman, has accepted a new role as the District’s English Language Development (ELD) Administrator beginning in the 2025–26 school year. While we will miss her leadership at Capri, we are proud of her continued impact across the district.

I’m also pleased to announce that Mrs. Veronica Valencia will join our Capri team in a dual role: part-time Assistant Principal at Capri and part-time School Safety Administrator for the district.

Ms. Valencia brings 18 years of experience in the Campbell Union School District, including roles as a classroom teacher, Assistant Principal at Monroe Middle School, and Principal at Blackford Elementary. She holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Santa Clara University and has deep expertise in English Language Development, equity-centered leadership, community engagement, safe school climate, and professional learning in both MTSS and crisis response.

Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Valencia to the Capri community.

Warm regards,
Eric Brown
Principal

A new phase of construction has started here at Capri.  You will see that a big portion of our campus is fenced off to keep everyone safe and away from the construction zone.  The gate from Village is locked, so Capri can only be accessed from the front gates.  Thank you for your patience during this time.
