Principal's Message
Dear Nesbit School,
Welcome!
Nesbit School is a vibrant and dynamic community, and I am proud to be your principal! Every day, K–8th grade students come together to fill the classrooms with laughter, discussion, and critical thinking. Cooperative group work, engaging lessons, and interactive activities allow children to think, grow, and develop. At Nesbit School, we believe that everyone is better . . . together!
Nesbit School community members are committed to creating a positive school for children. Teachers and staff carefully serve all of the students in their classes. With a strong focus on literacy development, solutionary teaching, and inquiry-based learning, our educators engage students to work hard, think critically, and take meaningful risks. Parent volunteers also contribute to our school with exciting enrichment programs and activities both during and after school. Organizations such as the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and SchoolForce greatly assist our community in being able to provide critical resources that directly help students!
This year, we’re also proud to celebrate Nesbit’s International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) in grades 6–8. Nesbit is the first public middle school in San Mateo County to be authorized as an IB World School—and the first ever in BRSSD! Through the IB MYP, we’re equipping students with the skills, mindsets, and global perspectives they need to thrive in a complex and changing world. It's an exciting time to be a Nesbit Puma!
I am grateful for the tremendous support and participation of Nesbit School’s community members, and most importantly I appreciate our students for their ongoing commitment to learn and to maintain a positive school environment. Nesbit students are respectful, responsible, safe, and inclusive!
Go Pumas!
Warmly,
Ryan Hansen
