Meet the Administration
Principal/Director
Victor A. Guendulain
I am excited to serve as Principal at Adelante 1 Dual Language Academy. I am thrilled to be part of such a vibrant community rich in cultura, traditions, and collaboration. I look forward to collaborating with our amazing teaching staff to continue providing the academic rigor that Adelante is known for.
A goal for this year is to work as a community to continue the traditions that makes Adelante 1 an exceptional dual language immersion school. This will require communication, collaboration, engagement, and parent participation. Parent engagement is key to the success of our students and in maintaining the vibrant community traditions for the benefit of our students.
As a small school of choice, Adelante holds high expectations of our students and parents alike. Parents are responsible for completing their 30 volunteer hours. These can be logged via our weekly green folders and/or on Parent Square. The greater the parent involvement, the greater student engagement. We all know that students learn best and have the most personal growth when they are supported by a loving and caring community. It is my goal to ensure that Adelante continues to be a loving and caring community for all of our students.
¡Juntos hacemos una gran diferencia en el aprendizaje de nuestros hijos!
In community,
Director, Guendulain
