Dear Magma Ranch Families,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Magma Ranch PK–6! I am honored to serve as your Learning Leader and to be part of this thriving family-centered community. Together, we are building a school environment where safety, belonging, strong relationships, and academic excellence are our top priorities. As Mustangs, we live out our mR3 core values: Respectful, Responsible, Right Choices!
I am a boots-on-the-ground instructional leader who brings vision, enthusiasm, asset-based thinking, innovation, creativity, and an abundance of joy. My core values—authenticity, autonomy, equity, faith, growth, and excellence—guide everything I do.
Since 1997, I have proudly served students, staff, and families in a variety of roles across Indiana and Arizona, including:
- 15 years as a Teacher Leader (Grades 1–5)
- Assistant Principal
- Principal
- Director of Federal Programs
- District K–8 Math Curriculum and Technology Integration Specialist
What has become abundantly clear is that Magma Ranch PK–6 is a learning commUNITY—a place where loving, committed stakeholders work together to create the best educational experience possible. As partners in this important journey, let’s stay focused on the success and well-being of our Mustang scholars—not just academically, but in every area of their lives.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I look forward to a joyful, purposeful year ahead as we continue Racing for Excellence—together.
Warmly,
Mrs. Kimberly May, NBCT
