Principal's Message

Thank you for visiting the Quail Run Elementary School website. We are excited and proud to share with you the many wonderful things going on at Quail Run! As one of the newest elementary schools in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District we bring to our community an enthusiastic, well trained staff that is dedicated to providing a comprehensive, standards based curriculum in a safe and nurturing environment; where each students' individuality is valued and where all students, families, and staff are treated with respect.

Quail Run's staff is actively involved in implementing the Reading and Writing Workshop programs, utilizing the model from Teacher's College at Columbia University. Last fall we were fortunate enough to have one of the lead researchers from Columbia on campus training trainers from all over the country. Our model classrooms and the excellent instructional practices we provide here at Quail Run are frequently used as demonstration classrooms for others who are also learning more about these research-based best practices. Our commitment to providing a rigorous, meaningful curriculum in a student centered environment is evidenced throughout our campus.

We are very proud of our model special education flow through model. Special education students from throughout the Dougherty Valley come to Quail Run to receive a differentiated educational program that supports each student. In addition to housing five special day classes, Quail Run provides services in speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral support, a resource classroom, and a learning lab where students participate in a variety of intervention programs tailored to students' needs. Our Gifted and Talented program, GATE, provides enrichment opportunities for those students who have been identified into the program. All students at Quail Run participate in our "Just Right " groupings for language arts and math in order for students to receive instruction at their assessed level.

Quail Run's involved parents and guardians participate throughout the campus in a variety of ways. Our active PTA and Quail Run Learning Fund provide many opportunities for family involvement. Please take a moment and visit their links to find out more about the wonderful work they are doing at Quail Run and how you can support our community.

I am always open to hearing about your ideas and suggestions. Please feel free to call me at (925) 560-4000 or e-mail me at cloflin@srvusd.net.
