Principal's Message

Dear Parents/ Guardians:   

I am honored to welcome families back to Luis Muñoz Marín School as the Interim Principal.  As many of you know, I have served as the Assistant Principal since 2014. I am deeply rooted in the Marin community and our mission of cultivating life-long learners who will be prepared for success in our global society.  I am excited and humbled by this opportunity to lead such a dedicated staff who has the most precious responsibility of educating your children.  Joining the Marin Administrative Team is Ms. Nekita Carroll-Hall and Dr. Aneury Morales who both bring a wealth of knowledge to Marin.   

This year we will be using phone blasts, our school website, school memos, and the Marin Facebook page to keep you informed of all that is happening in the school. Please update your phone numbers when necessary and follow us on FB at Marin School Bridgeport and visit the Luis Muñoz Marin website at http://bridgeportedu.net/marin for important information and updates.
