Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! Whether you are a returning family or joining our Timberwolf community for the very first time, we are so glad you are here.

As I begin my 26th year in education with Temecula Valley Unified School District, my passion for student success remains as strong as ever. Having spent time as a teacher at Ysabel Barnett Elementary and Day Middle School, and serving as Principal at Susan LaVorgna Elementary, I am honored to continue to work with the incredible team here at Abby Reinke Elementary.

ARES is truly a special place. It is a vibrant, student-centered community where children are encouraged to grow, learn, and excel. Our highly qualified teachers work collaboratively as a Professional Learning Community to tailor support for every learner’s academic and social journey. Alongside our caring support staff, we are fully committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment.

Building a Strong Home-School Connection

We deeply value your partnership. A strong connection between home and school is at the heart of everything we do, and open, frequent communication is our commitment to you.

We encourage all parents to get involved! Joining our PTA is a wonderful way to connect with other families and support the programs that make ARES so unique.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education and well-being, it is a responsibility we carry with pride and gratitude. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!

With gratitude,

Erin Nielsen

Principal, Abby Reinke Elementary School
