Welcome to San Elijo Elementary School
San
Elijo Elementary School (SEES) is beautifully located in San Elijo
Hills, a planned community in southwestern San Marcos. On August 14,
2006 the new site was completed and enrollment began!
San Elijo
Elementary School is a unique school as it existed within another school
for two years prior to moving to the new campus. Many outstanding
programs are already initiated and working successfully. Relationships
between staff, students, and parents are formed and a collaborative
culture exists. The San Elijo community values education and supports
the efforts of the teaching and administrative staff. A result of these
close and effective working relationships is a learning community that
appreciates the strengths that cultural diversity brings to a school and
one that takes pride in continuous academic and socio-emotional growth.
When
the school opened in August(2006), the enrollment was projected at 750
students with a teaching staff of 41. Today the school has about 1,050 students with a teaching staff of about 50. The enthusiastic, positive,
and creative staff is dedicated to the success of the new school and its
students and looks forward to the myriad of tasks required to open a
school. A culture of collaboration, hard work, and joy exists at the
school.
Although our
school is new, we have accomplished a great deal. The San Elijo
community is positive and highly involved. Students are happy, secure,
and dedicated to becoming "their best selves." As the school mascot, the eagle, suggests you can SEE us Soar throughout the school day as
students and teachers focus on essential language arts standards,
foster a love of reading with Accelerated Reader, integrate technology
into most content standards, and recognize mathematical thinking with our Mathematician of the Month . Students develop an awareness of positive
character traits with a school wide focus of kindness. An emphasis on respect and hard
work is readily apparent to all visitors. As a 2018 California Distinguished School. An established process for continued growth
ensures that staff, parents, and students will always strive to improve.
This positive commitment of the entire learning community will result
in the San Elijo Elementary Eagles success in the years to come.
