DCE: Dear Dennis Chavez Elementary Families,
I would like to introduce myself as your new interim principal assigned to DCE to complete the 2020-2021 school year. My name is Andrea Montaño but most often I go by Andi (or Coach Andi to my high school athletes). I am completing my 24th year in education and during that time I have been a teacher, an assistant principal, a principal, an IEP facilitator and most recently I have worked as the district mentor teacher and head coach for both the swim and volleyball programs as BHS. I am honored to have the opportunity to work at DCE and to support the teachers, staff, and students as we work together to finish this year on a positive note! If you have any questions or would just like to say hello please reach out. I look forward to getting to know the students, staff and parents of this wonderful community.
Warmest regards,
Andrea Montaño
Good morning D C E parents and guardians,
I wanted to inform you that the district has decided to make a change in leadership at Dennis Chavez Elementary. Beginning on Monday, May 10 Ms. Andi Montano will be the interim principal at D C E. Ms. Alicia Abney has been assigned to other duties in the district. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact my office at 966-1003.
DCE community: it has been my pleasure serving the families, staff, and mostly the students of Los Chavez at Dennis Chavez Elementary. I will continue to do what's best for students in my next position outside of Belen Consolidated Schools. I will greatly miss the little faces who I've come to call my friends. Please hug them tightly daily and tell them Mrs. Abney believes in them!
DCE community: Extended Learning Time will be from June 14-16. Please fill out this form to let us know if you intend to send your student. If you have multiple students, either add all to the 1st question or do the survey more than once.
You have until May 21st to decide. Call 966-1006 for more information.
Thanks!
