A Message from the Executive Director


Hi Ryder,


The school year is well underway at Pivot Charter Schools, and it’s exciting to see how much we’ve already accomplished!


As the fall semester progresses, I am proud of the growth we are seeing across our school community. I am looking forward to continuing this momentum and achieving even more together.


Throughout this newsletter, you’ll read about exciting new developments happening in the Pivot community, including a spotlight on a student who has demonstrated incredible resilience and academic achievement. You’ll meet one of the newest members of our Pivot family, Community Liaison, Ana Martinez, learn more about Pivot’s guaranteed admissions program with California State University San Marcos and Sonoma State University and get an inside look at how Pivot thrives through partnerships and the dedication of our team. 


Welcoming new students into our school is a constant reminder of why personalized education matters so much—we love empowering each learner to unlock their full potential! If you or your student have felt the positive impact of Pivot, I encourage you to share your experiences with your friends and acquaintances. Your stories can help us reach more students who might thrive in our community.


Thank you for being such a valued part of Pivot. Your support and participation makes our community so special.


Let us continue to grow and succeed together!
