Mr. Casey Stratton
Welcome to the 22-23 school year at Merwin Elementary School!
I am humbled and honored to serve as the Principal of our highly accomplished school community! I will begin my 19th year in the Covina-Valley Unified School where I have served as both a teacher and administrator. I’m so very proud to be a Merwin Mustang!
The 21-22 school year was very successful for our students, teachers, staff and families! The California Department of Education recognized our school as a "2022 California Pivotal Practice School." This very distinguished award celebrates the continued academic accomplishments of our students, families, teachers and staff as we navigated through the pandemic and returned to in-person instruction this year.
Merwin Elementary School was also recognized by the U.S. News & World Report as one of the highest performing elementary schools in the Covina-Valley Unified School District, the county of Los Angeles, and the state of California.
As a school staff, we participate in a continuous loop of reflecting upon our instructional practices and analyzing student growth/success. While we really do have so much to be proud of as a school community, there will always be room for improvement. Our "Good & Important News" message shares in detail our celebrations and continued areas of growth.
As we begin the 22-23 school year, I look forward to increasing our partnership with families to continue to support the academic and social success of ALL students. Working together, the potential of ALL students is limitless!
On behalf of the Merwin teachers and staff, we remain committed to providing our students with a rigorous instructional program and a caring social environment that will ensure the educational excellence of ALL students! Merwin School is indeed a unique and supportive environment that values ALL individuals! Our Mustangs will soar to success!
If we can be of any assistance, we invite you to call or visit our school office. We are open daily from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Go Mustangs!
Casey Stratton
Principal, Merwin Elementary School
