Meet The Principal

Dear Paseo Pointe Families and Community,

Paseo Pointe has held a special place in my heart since the very beginning. Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside this incredible school—first as a classroom teacher, then as an instructional coach, assistant principal, and now, with great pride, as your principal. Over the years, I’ve seen our community’s strength, dedication, and shared belief in what’s possible for our students.

This year, I’m proud to share that every grade level from preschool through 8th grade is now fully included in our 50/50 Dual Language Immersion program. Our students develop bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural understanding while reaching high levels of academic achievement. This work is guided by our mission—to empower excellence in students, staff, and families by creating a positive, student-centered environment rooted in collaboration, culture, and language.

At Paseo, we believe that excellence lives in everyone. Our vision of Empowering Excellence inspires everything we do—from high-quality instruction to inclusive enrichment opportunities. Students benefit from a well-rounded learning experience that includes art, music, P.E., and technology. They also have opportunities to grow outside the classroom through a variety of extracurricular clubs and activities.

We also believe that families are essential partners in the success of our school. Throughout the year, there are many ways for parents and guardians to get involved—from supporting our Parent Booster committees to joining us for the many cultural celebrations that reflect the diversity and spirit of our Ram community.

Whether you’re a returning family or joining us for the first time—thank you for being part of the Ram Fam. I look forward to partnering with you as we continue to grow, support one another, and create something extraordinary—together.

With pride and commitment,
Ms. Paty González Sotelo
Principal, Paseo Pointe Dual Language Academy
