Welcome to Valle Lindo Elementary!

Mission: The Valle Lindo School Community truly believes that it takes a community to raise a child and that children come first at the center of every decision. We extend instructional impact to parents through training in our ELAC meetings as well as our quarterly parent meetings. When we have such an inclusive culture of learning focused on children, the school becomes an extension of their community and family. Students are then motivated to understand their world and seek to succeed at progressively higher levels of learning. A focus on research-based strategies and resources are used to address the diverse needs of our students. We review student progress through quarterly monitoring using curriculum-aligned assessments in language arts, math, ELD and science. Teachers meet regularly to review student work, identify instructional support and align resources. Students in need of intervention are identified early through the Student Success Team process and receive necessary support. Parents are kept informed of school and individual student instructional targets and provided resources to help them support the focus.
