Welcome to Lomitas: A Community of Learners!
At Lomitas, home of the Leopards, we take pride in creating a safe, connected, and engaging place for students to grow. We’re honored to be recognized as a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School, and our entire staff is trained in the CKH philosophy—building relationships, modeling empathy, and shaping a culture where every child feels known and valued.
You’ll see this in the way we greet students, build social contracts, and teach from the heart. And we look forward to sharing this powerful approach with our families too—it’s not just what we do, it’s who we are.
As Leopards, we center our culture around always being SPOT-On:
-
Self-Manager
-
Problem Solver
-
Optimistic
-
Terrific
These values guide every classroom, every hallway, and every conversation.
Families are essential to our success. Whether you’re volunteering, taking a class at our on-site family resource center, or sharing ideas in ELAC or School Site Council—you make our community stronger.
Thank you for supporting our students and letting me support you. We are better together.
With appreciation,
Mrs. Kerns
Principal
Lomitas Elementary

Our Focus
At Lomitas, we build A Community of Learners by fostering strong academics and strong relationships. Our academic focus is on reading comprehension through Thinking Maps, helping students think deeply and clearly.
As a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School, we prioritize connection, character, and care. Our SPOT-On values—Self-Manager, Problem Solver, Optimistic, and Terrific—guide how we learn and grow together.
We are committed to equipping every Leopard in our pride with skills that last a lifetime
