Dear Parents, Welcome to the best school year you've ever had! We, the staff of Desert Mesa, plan to make this true for ourselves as staff members and to all our students. Our staff has a goal to provide effective instruction for each child at his or her appropriate instructional level. We take great care in choosing and providing instruction and materials that will enable your child to understand what is expected of him or her and be challenged to achieve that goal. We believe that all children can and will learn when the atmosphere in which they are educated allows for their individual differences. We encourage them to achieve their potential. Our goal is to create an environment in which students learn most effectively. We believe this is best summed up in an “absence of threat” atmosphere built by Life-Long Guidelines and Life Skills. With this type of atmosphere for students and staff, along with meaningful content in the curriculum, the potential for learning is wide open. Our school has a goal that 100% of our students will be on or above grade level in reading, writing, and math. This is an awesome task. We cannot do it alone. We must work together. The staff of Desert Mesa Elementary is composed of trained professional teachers who have the best interest of your child in mind and heart. The other half of your child’s learning support team is you, the parents. We need to work together to provide the best academic and social year possible. Parents can help by having our students to school on time. Read with your students. Help them with their homework. Be involved in our school. Our door is always open to parents to discuss any concerns, ideas and proposals. Sincerely,
E. M. Baumgarner, Principal |
