On behalf of our staff at Pomerado, I am happy to welcome you and your children to the 2025-2026 school year! I am very excited to start this new year, as we anticipate it is going to be an amazing experience.
It is truly an honor to join this vibrant community of passionate educators, supportive families, and dedicated staff. I have heard so many wonderful things about the commitment, talent, and care that define Pomerado, and I am thrilled to become part of this proud tradition.
I bring with me 26 years of experience in education, including leadership roles within Poway Unified School District as an administrator at Valley Elementary and, most recently, Midland Elementary. These experiences have shaped my belief that strong schools are built on trust, collaboration, and a shared vision for student success.
As I begin this journey at Pomerado Elementary, my priority is to listen, learn, and build meaningful relationships. I believe in open communication, shared leadership, and creating a school culture where every student, staff member, and family feels seen, heard, and valued. Your voices and experiences are essential, and I look forward to learning from you as we move forward together with a focus on High Quality Instruction in a strong culture of Belonging.
I am excited and deeply honored to serve this incredible community. Together, we will continue supporting the growth, joy, and success of every student at Pomerado Elementary. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—whether to share your insights, ask a question, or simply to say hello!
With gratitude and Wildcat Pride,
Principal Sidia Martinez
