About Our Principal
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I am honored to begin my first official year as Principal of John Baldwin Elementary School. What an incredible place to be! Before joining the SRVUSD family, I served as an elementary teacher and administrator in the Pleasanton Unified School District, bringing with me 24 years of experience in education. My husband and I are blessed with two wonderful children—our daughter attends Foothill High School in Pleasanton, and our son is embarking on his sophomore year at Chico State University.
My passions as a school leader are rooted in a deep commitment to supporting each student's social-emotional well-being and academic success. I am dedicated to creating a safe, warm, and inclusive environment for all students, staff, and stakeholders. My door is always open, and I wholeheartedly welcome your feedback and ideas. It is my intent that we work together to continue the cherished traditions that make John Baldwin Elementary an extraordinary place where all students feel empowered to reach their full academic and social potential.
Please feel free to stop by or call to make an appointment to discuss your concerns, suggestions, or ideas. I am eager to meet with you soon and to begin this exciting journey together.
Sincerely,
Lydia Rice
Principal John Baldwin Elementary School
