Ms. Gonçalves
Principal

Hello, my name is Paula Goncalves,
​September 2023 was the start of my 35th year at the James Otis School. I am extremely proud to be the Otis Principal. I have a deep passion for the James Otis School. I was a Teacher at the Otis for 22 years and this is my 13th year as Principal. My Staff and I believe that every student, every day receives the very best education at the Otis. Our students attend the Otis happily ready to learn everyday. Our attendance is reflective of this. Our students are taught by licensed professional teachers most that are CPR and AED certified. Feel free to contact me personally to discuss our unique K-6 school. We believe that "Together We Can Make A Difference" in the lives of all our students with the support of our families.
