Principal's Message
On behalf of the entire Santa Rosa staff, welcome to Santa Rosa Elementary, Home of the Smiling Scorpions! Whether you’re new to our community or a returning Scorpion, we are excited to partner with you in supporting your child’s educational journey. We are committed to ensuring that your child’s early school years are filled with positive, meaningful, and enriching experiences.
Our dedicated team looks forward to working closely with your child, and with you, as partners and advocates in their learning and growth. At Santa Rosa, we strive to create a joyful, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child and family. Our school mission reflects our deep commitment: Every student learns at a high level, every day!
At Santa Rosa, we follow the ABC Expectations to promote a strong, respectful school community and a positive learning environment for all of our Stellar Scorpions:
- A – Act Respectfully
- B – Be Responsible
- C – Care for Our School
These values are at the heart of what it means to be a Stellar Scorpion!
Santa Rosa is proud to offer a one-of-a-kind educational opportunity in Maricopa through our Dual Language Spanish Program. This program helps students become bilingual and biliterate, preparing them for a global future. We currently offer Dual Language classes from Preschool through 4th grade, with 5th grade launching in the 2026–27 school year. Students in the program receive instruction in both English and Spanish every day.
You belong here! We believe that strong communication and family involvement are essential to student success. We welcome and value your partnership! There are many opportunities for you to get involved at Santa Rosa, including:
- Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students)
- Classroom and school volunteers
- Scorpion PTO (Parent Teacher Organization)
- Site Council membership
We are excited about the year ahead and look forward to working together to make it a fantastic one for our students, families, and community.
With gratitude,
Eva Safranek
