Camarena teachers love their students, love to learn, love to collaborate and love life. Every
decision they make is based on the question, “Is this good enough for my own children?”

Camarena Elementary School 
I would definitely like to be involved with interviewing the teachers and staff at Camarena Elementary. It will give me a sense of comfort to know who is around my son on a daily basis, as well as the teachers and staff will be familiar to me as well. Something that is very important to me.
Thanks for your interest. I will contact you when the interview process begins.
I have three children at Wolf Canyon elementary, and my oldest child has been there for six years (since kindergarten). We have been very fortunate to have had truly great teachers at Wolf Canyon. Being that we will be making the transition to Camerena, I would very much like to share/ partake in the teacher interview process. I am delighted that the parents will be given this opportunity. Thank you!
Thanks for agreeing to join the interview team. We will need plenty of help to hire 30+ teachers.
I am interested in being on the hiring committee for teachers at Camarena Elementary. My son is presently at Wolf Canyon, but will be attending Camarena Elem in the fall. Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you Mr. Zamora. I’ve got you on the list.
How will Camarena foster collaboration amongst the teachers?
First of all, teachers will be selected who demonstrate the willingness and ability to work in teams. Collaboration and transparency will be modeled through every school process and expected from all staff members. There is certainly more that can be said, but that’s my Cliff Notes version.
Greetings, I would also like to participate in teacher interviews. Thank you!
I am interested in being on the committee for teacher selection.
I see you signed up. We are having our first committee meetings this Monday at the Winding Walk Homeowners Association:
9:00 Mission, Vision, Values
10:30 PTA
1:00 Dual Immersion
2:30 Interviews
For working parents, we will have follow up meetings in the afternoon/evening. Thanks for agreeing to help.
Could you please clarify location of the meeting?There are two HOA locations Winding Trails & Hidden Path. Thank you
1625 Discovery Falls Drive – right above the school.
Dr. Winters, I signed up for a few committee’s and have yet to hear back. Please let me know if you already have committed parents and are no longer seeking members. Thanks.
I am a Bilingual teacher and I will love to be part of this new project! Hope to see the postings soon!
I have applied to be one of the teachers at Camarena Elementary. I imagine it will be a group of caring and committed educators. I would love to be part of that team. I look forward to meeting the parents involved with the educator search committee. I will await patiently for a call to interview for the position. Blessings. -Gerardo “Tito” Zendejas
Bravo on selecting Julie Pretzer as one of the teachers! My daugther is currently in her class and we LOVE her. I already feel a greater sense of confidence about the new school 🙂
Ms. Pretzer is an amazing educator and an expert in early child development. The Camarena community is fortunate to have her on our team.
Hi I’m a bilingual teacher and would love to participate with you at Camarena elementary school.
Thank you for your interest, however we have all of our bilingual teacher positions filled at this time.
Hi I work in another San Diego district and live down by your new school. Are you still hiring?
Greetings – No, we have hired all teaching staff at this point. Thanks for your interest and best wishes.
thank you for the great school my children have been telling me today on their first day of school that it was amazing they loved the desks thank you for your support with the school
