Joanie Freckmann Principal

Hello, my name is Joanie Freckmann and I am the proud principal of Colfax Elementary School.  We want to welcome you to our website and hope that you will find it a useful source of information. 

Colfax is a wonderful neighborhood school located in Valley Village.  We have an ethnically and socio-economically diverse student population that is truly representative of Los Angeles.  

Our incredibly dedicated staff works hard to ensure that each child meets his or her full potential.  Our goal at Colfax is to provide students with an excellent standards based curriculum enriched with a heavy emphasis on the arts.  

Colfax would not be the school it is without the tremendous dedication of the parents and community.  Our PTA and PACE associations work to beautify the school and raise funds to provide support for our excellent programs.  Thanks to their efforts, we have art and music programs, a farm, a science lab, a beautiful library, additional support in classrooms, and new playground equipment.
