Dear Hearst Families and Friends,

Welcome to Phoebe Hearst Elementary School, the best little school in the district! Whether we are learning at home or in the building this year, our staff is focused on our instructional vision of building and maintaining strong relationships, creating accessible, joyful, and engaging learning environments, and teach in developmentally, culturally, and trauma responsive ways.

We actively work to ensure that Hearst is a safe and positive community where students, staff, and families have a sense of belonging and significance. In our learning environments, whether virtual or in-person, we strive to remove barriers, promote student autonomy, and offer individual choice. As a staff, we are focused on responding to students’ individual, cultural, and developmental learning needs and strengths. Taken together, these principles and goals are the foundation for why we believe Hearst is the best little school in the district. 

We hope you think so too, look forward to your partnership, and hope that you'll reach out with any questions about our school.

In partnership,

Jen Geoffroy

Principal
