WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!
WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!
At El Portal our school goal is:
EVERY STUDENT, WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR EXCUSE, WILL MEET OR EXCEED STANDARDS IN READING, WRITING, AND MATH.
It is the mission of El Portal School to create for our students a strong educational foundation, to encourage and develop each student’s character, along with a passion for learning, and academic excellence. We strive to develop in students a strong foundation in America’s values, traditions and heritage, and to teach our students to embrace the diversity of others on campus and in the community.
Our staff, parents, and community members work closely together to help each child reach his/her potential. Communication with home is important and we provide weekly communication folders, an automated phone message system, and school and classroom websites. Collaboration between school and home is an integral part of the success of El Portal Elementary School. We have an active PTA that meets on Wednesdays monthly. Please contact our school for exact times and dates.
We also offer an array of exciting activities to promote student learning and school spirit. Student achievement and good citizenship is also recognized on a regular basis. Our STEAM Lab allows El Portal students will be engaged in hands on learning and developing a mind-set of inquiry in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. This lab gives our students the tools to help shape their lives and solve problems in different ways. All of our 2nd - 6th grade students have their own Chromebook to use in the classroom. Teachers have been working hard to incorporate technology in their lessons to help learning really come alive for our students. This is a great way for our students to experience learning that wasn't previously possible.
