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.

     Focus on literacy

     Use of support technology

     Thematic learning

     Achieving content standards

     Parent/Community participation
