Welcome Parents/Guardians!

This is my third year as a teacher and my second year at Mt.Pleasant Elementary. I am a product of Mount Pleasant Elementary School District! The schools attended were: Valle Vista Elementary, August Boeger, Mt. Pleasant High School, and San Jose State University.

When Mr. Velasco is not teaching, when he wants to be active: roots on Bay Area sports teams, travel, try new restaurants, hikes, goes to the gym and goes to concerts. When he wants to feel more tranquil: deeply listen to music, read books, photography, and practice cooking/find new recipes.

“Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.“ Barack Obama, speech to American students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, www.whsv.com.
