Superintendent​/Principal Cinnabar School District

About the Cinnabar School District

The Cinnabar School District is a single school district and charter school. Cinnabar Charter and Elementary School serves about 160 students in grades TK-6, with grades TK and 1 through 6 designated as a charter school. The school and district were established in 1859 for the purpose of serving the children who lived mostly on farms just north of Petaluma. While some of the children today live on ranches, most live in homes that would be considered suburban.

The school serves a relatively diverse student body. We currently have 8 classroom teachers, all of whom are experienced and highly qualified. In addition, there is a physical education specialist and a culinary kitchen to offer enrichment opportunities for all of our students. For additional support, we have a full-time special education teacher, English language development teacher, intervention teacher, daily ELA intervention, and an instructional coach.

Staff includes a librarian, food service worker, custodian and maintenance/groundskeeper. The office staff includes a bilingual office assistant, executive administrative assistant, and a chief business officer. We also have a director of technology to coordinate the demands of being a 1:1 technology school (a computer for each student). Part-time employees include a special education director, school psychologist, speech therapist, and a nurse.

We have an active parent teacher organization called CEF (Cinnabar Educational Foundation), a School Site Council (SSC), and an English Language Parent Advisory Committee (ELPAC).
