Principal's Corner

American Lakes Principal, Mr. Brian Sanino

Welcome to American Lakes School!

My name is Brian Sanino, and I am honored to begin another year as principal of American Lakes School. Our school community remains committed to the "Three Personal Standards": Be Respectful, Make Good Decisions, and Solve Problems. These core values guide our daily interactions and help create a positive learning environment where all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

American Lakes continues to be recognized as a Gold Status PBIS school, reflecting our commitment to fostering positive behavior, providing targeted supports, and creating a safe and inclusive school climate. Through our schoolwide PBIS framework, students are recognized for demonstrating positive behaviors while receiving the support needed to meet high expectations.

As we review our academic performance data, we recognize both areas of success and opportunities for growth. Our staff remains focused on strengthening instruction, increasing student engagement, and implementing targeted interventions to improve student achievement across all grade levels. Through ongoing collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we are working to ensure that every student has access to high-quality learning experiences and the support necessary to reach their full potential.

American Lakes proudly reflects the Natomas Unified School District's vision of creating an engaging and safe learning community where all scholars demonstrate responsibility, grow academically and socially-emotionally, embrace diversity, and are prepared to make informed decisions for college and career success.

I look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community as we continue building a culture of excellence and opportunity during the 2026–2027 school year.

Go Eagles!
