Our School's Mission
At Ortega Elementary School, our mission is to support staff and families in providing a safe and nurturing environment in which each student can be successful academically, socially, and emotionally, according to his or her potential. We accomplish this through the combined efforts of a child-focused community led by Ortega Elementary’s principal, teachers, and families.
We believe each student can achieve the standards we set given adequate support. Our goal is to teach children to become independent learners with high self-esteem and the confidence to succeed.
Ortega Elementary School has instituted the following elements into the curriculum:
Focus on literacy
Use of support technology
Thematic learning
Achieving content standards
Parent/Community participation.
