Welcome Cardinal Community,

My name is Yvette Bakken and I am the principal of Carlos F. Vigil Middle School. As we embark upon the 2023-2024 school year, It gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to Carlos F. Vigil as we continue our journey together towards excellence. I am entering my second year as your principal, and I am committed to building upon the solid foundation we have laid for a positive school culture.

Throughout our time together, we have embraced the core values of Adapt, Believe, and Unite. These pillars have served as guiding principles in our efforts to create an environment that fosters growth, empowerment, and success for every student. As we move forward, I am dedicated to upholding these values and further embedding them into our school community.

The first pillar, Adapt, reminds us of the importance of flexibility and resilience in the face of challenges. Our students and staff have proven time and again their ability to adapt to changing circumstances and rise above obstacles.

Believe, our second pillar, emphasizes the power of self-belief and the belief in one another. We have witnessed the incredible achievements and personal growth of our students when they are provided with the support and encouragement they need to believe in themselves.

Lastly, the pillar of Unite embodies the strength and unity that comes from working together as a community. Together, we are building a school that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and respect for one another.

Our ultimate goal is to foster student achievement and celebrate the success of each and every student. We are dedicated to providing a well-rounded education that not only focuses on academic growth but also nurtures the social-emotional development of our students. We will continue to provide a rich and engaging curriculum, supported by effective teaching strategies.

I am truly honored to be a part of such an extraordinary school community. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones, and I am confident that the year ahead holds even greater promise. I encourage all students, parents, and staff to actively participate, collaborate, and contribute to our shared vision of excellence.

Let us embrace the 2023-2024 school year with enthusiasm, optimism, and a collective commitment to cultivating a positive school culture. I look forward to witnessing the growth, accomplishments, and success of each and every one of our students. My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.

Thank you
Yvette Bakken
