Aimee Plette
Principal
Aimee Plette began her teaching career in the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District in 1999, after graduating from University of California San Diego with Bachelor of Arts in Communications and US History, and earning her teaching credential at the California State University, San Marcos. After 13 years as an elementary classroom teacher, she became an instructional coach for the district supporting teachers in Math, Language Arts, STEM, technology integration, and curriculum development. In 2018, Mrs. Plette served as the Assistant Principal of Fallbrook STEM Academy, until August of 2020, when she opened the Fallbrook Virtual Academy to support families during COVID. Since then, she has served as the Principal of Special Programs, overseeing the Mike Choate Early Childhood Center, FUESD Environmental Education Program, DeLuz Outdoor Education Program, and both the Fallbrook Homeschool Academy and Fallbrook Virtual Academy.
Mrs. Plette is from a family of educators. Her parents are retired public school teachers and administrators, and her husband is a high school history teacher. She resides in Oceanside with her husband, Steve, two children Jack (18) and Ellie (16), and her two rescue dogs, Cinnamon Roll and Gigi.
Mrs. Bridgid Murray
Assistant Principal
Hello La Paloma Elementary Families
I am thrilled to be joining the Wolf Pack family as La Paloma’s new assistant principal. While I have driven past LAP on my way to other school sites for several years, I am looking forward to now being at La Paloma and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of a team in creating a joyful and loving educational journey for our students.
I also want to take a moment to share a little about myself as we approach the 2024-2025 school year. For the past two years I have been the assistant principal at Live Oak Elementary; prior to that I was across town at Fallbrook STEM Academy where I worked as a classroom teacher, as well as the Innovation Lab teacher. I love school and learning new things, and I am also very fond of sports. It is not uncommon to find me at a student’s little league or basketball game.
While I am not a native ‘Fallbrookian,’ my husband and I raised our three kids in Fallbrook and have lived here for over 24 years. Our children’s experiences as students at our public schools, as well as having been 4 H members and athletes have woven us into the fabric of this place we call home.
As your new assistant principal, I look forward to working with our school community and you in order to provide your child with the experiences and tools to foster their growth and development both academically and socially. In addition, I look forward to participating in (and introducing) activities which provide the conditions so that our students are excited to come to school and to fully participate as La Paloma Elementary Wolves. It is my hope that students will take with them not only the skills necessary for academic success, but also the discoveries and experiences that they will fondly look back upon years later. I hope you had a great summer! I can hardly wait to meet you at our Meet and Greet on Friday, August 9th or in the days to come!
Hola familias de la Primaria La Paloma
Estoy encantado de unirme a la familia Wolf Pack como nueva subdirectora de La Paloma. Si bien he pasado por LAP en mi camino a otras escuelas durante varios años, espero con ansias estar ahora en La Paloma y estoy agradecida por la oportunidad de ser parte de un equipo para crear un viaje educativo alegre y amoroso para nuestros estudiantes.
También quiero tomarme un momento para compartir un poco sobre mí a medida que nos acercamos al año escolar 2024-2025. Durante los últimos dos años he sido subdirectora de la escuela primaria Live Oak; Antes de eso, estuve al otro lado del pueblo en Fallbrook STEM Academy, donde trabajé como maestra, así como maestra del Laboratorio de Innovación. Me encanta la escuela y aprender cosas nuevas, y también me gustan mucho los deportes. No es raro encontrarme en la liga infantil de un estudiante o en un partido de baloncesto.
No soy nativa de Fallbrook, pero mi esposo y yo criamos a nuestros tres hijos en Fallbrook y hemos vivido aquí durante más de 24 años. Las experiencias de nuestros hijos como estudiantes en nuestras escuelas públicas, además de haber sido miembros y atletas de 4 H, nos han entretejido en la estructura de este lugar que llamamos hogar.
Como su nueva subdirectora, espero trabajar con nuestra comunidad escolar y con usted para brindarle a su hijo las experiencias y herramientas para fomentar su crecimiento y desarrollo tanto académica como socialmente. Además, espero participar (y presentar) actividades que brinden las condiciones para que nuestros estudiantes estén entusiasmados de venir a la escuela y participar plenamente como Lobos de la escuela primaria La Paloma. Tengo la esperanza de que los estudiantes se lleven consigo no sólo las habilidades necesarias para el éxito académico, sino también los descubrimientos y experiencias que recordarán con cariño años después.
¡Espero que hayan tenido un gran verano! ¡Estoy deseando conocerte en nuestro Meet and Greet el viernes 9 de agosto o en los próximos días!
