Hello Fruitvale Families,
My name is Chris Ramos and I am excited for my new role serving the Fruitvale Community as the school’s Assistant Principal. I am excited to meet your students and their families.
I have served as an administrator for 7 years in various roles such as Elementary School Principal, High School Assistant Principal, and High School Dean of Students. My teaching experience includes teaching a K-1 combo class, 3rd grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade classes. Additionally, I am a professor at Mt. San Jacinto College teaching classes in Child Development.
I am a sports enthusiast, I coach baseball and club soccer. I love all sports and can be found active on the playground during recess and lunch times. I am excited to play soccer, handball, jump rope, or even just walk around talking with the students. Positive relationships are key to learning and my goal is to contribute to Fruitvale’s already strong culture by continuing to provide a safe, clean, and fun place for our students to learn.
I am available for families to come and talk if you need to discuss anything. I am a father of 6 children so I understand how important your children are to you. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything. If you do not see me at the gate in the morning or walking around the front of the school after school, call, email, or schedule an appointment with me through the front office.
I am looking forward to a great year here at Fruitvale.
Goooooooo Falcons!!!!!
Chris Ramos
