Principal's Message

Dear Trajan Community,

I am excited to introduce myself as the new Interim Principal at Trajan Elementary School. It is amazing that I get to join this wonderful school community, and I have already witnessed the strong sense of pride that exists here. I am eager to contribute to the school's growth and success in every possible way.

This year marks my 30th year as an educator–with twenty-two of those years in San Juan Unified. I have previously served as Vice Principal at Gold River Discovery Center K-8, Dyer-Kelly Elementary K-5, and Lichen P-8. As a teacher, I taught middle school English and History.

My vision for our school is to continue to build on Trajan’s environment that not only focuses on academic achievement, but also fosters an inclusive and safe environment where everyone feels valued and welcome. Each one of our students brings unique talents, perspectives, and experiences that enrich our school community. Together, we will embrace diversity and create a space where every child feels like they truly belong.

Parents and guardians, Trajan Elementary School highly appreciates your unwavering support in your child's education. Our partnership is vital in ensuring every student’s growth and success. Please know that our doors are always open, and we encourage you to actively participate in school life.

Thank you for your warm welcome, and I am excited about the journey ahead. Let us embark on this new chapter hand in hand, confident that together, we will achieve great things at Trajan Elementary School.

With gratitude and enthusiasm,

Stephanie Floyd-Smith, M.Ed

Interim Principal
