Welcome to Desert View Elementary School!
About Our School
All schools in the Washington Elementary School District are committed to
achieving excellence for every child, every day, every opportunity. Desert View
Elementary School's curriculum is fully aligned with State Standards. Desert
View serves a diverse population of preschool through fifth graders through an
effective, traditionally organized format that emphasizes proficiency in basic
skills, yet addresses the development of critical thinking through a variety of
instructional strategies to meet the needs of all our students. Our various
resource support teams specialize in assisting students with unique learning
needs, those who are gifted, and those with limited English acquisition. Art,
music and PE are provided for all grade levels. We encourage all students to
take pride in their school to develop strong leadership and citizenship skills
to assist them in school and as they grow into adulthood.
Our Mission
Desert View will be noted for its focus on learning in a positive, safe,
educational environment in which there is the following: collaborative
decision-making with support from all constituents, strong leadership from all
components of the organization, articulated curriculum, continuous evaluation
and communication for student progress, effective professional development and
consistent communication.
