Greetings,

     It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as Assistant Principal for the Online Middle School.  Online learning is a world of opportunities!  I look forward to working with the Online School staff, students, and families to make this a stellar year for our scholars.  Meaningful learning experiences, thoughtful reflection, application, and real-world connections are key to engaging students and inspiring them to think critically, pursue their dreams and change the world.  

     My background in education includes teaching in both English and Spanish dual immersion settings, professional development trainer and lead, adjunct professor, instructional coach, and Interim Assistant Principal.  I have worked with St. Paul Public Schools since 2003.  

     I am excited to support our community and to support learning for each student.  I value individuality and connectedness; two vital components for online learners.  Please reach out to connect with me by email at lois.pantoja@spps.org or my direct phone number (651) 744-2432.

Assistant Principal

Greetings Online School parents and students.  It is my pleasure to serve you for a second school year.  Thanks for the opportunity to work with you and your children.

A little about me:

I have been working for Saint Paul Public Schools for 26 years.  I started working, in the district, as a Latino Consent Decree/EL teacher at Phalen Lake elementary school.  I worked for the SPPS Tech Department for two years. I was the Assistant Principal for EXPO, Paul & Sheila Wellstone, and French Immersion elementary schools.  I was the Principal of the Spanish Immersion in Robbinsdale for a year before returning to Saint Paul Public Schools. I worked with several Area Super Intendents and multiple SPPS departments during the Covid pandemic in Saint Paul.  It is my second year at the SPPS Online School.

I was born in Colombia, South America.  I have 4 siblings.  I have two children.  I came to the US to grow academically and professionally.  I love being from two different cultures.  I visit my family often in Colombia while enjoying my children in the US.

I studied teaching and education back  in Colombia.  I completed my master program in Teaching and Learning in the US.  I also completed my Admin license to become an Assistant Principal/Principal in the US.  I am now finishing a master program in technology and curriculum integration.  Besides teaching and being an administrator, I am a computer programmer, network admin, web master, interpreter, and translator.

It is indeed my pleasure to belong to the SPPS Online School.  I am at your service.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me any time.

 

Sincerely,

 

John Osorio
