Principal's Message
Home of the Smiling Scorpions
On behalf of our entire staff, welcome to Santa Rosa! Whether your family is brand new to our community or you are a returning Scorpion family, we are so excited to walk alongside you on your child’s educational journey.
These early school years are such a special milestone. Our team is fully committed to making sure your child's time here is filled with learning, discovery, and a true sense of belonging. We love what we do, and we believe that every student learns at a high level, every day!
The Scorpion Way: Our ABCs
To keep our school a respectful, caring and safe learning place for everyone, our "Stellar Scorpions" live by three simple daily expectations:
- A – Act Respectfully
- B – Be Responsible
- C – Care for Our School
These values are at the heart of everything we do!
Our Dual Language Program
We are incredibly proud to offer a one of a kind opportunity right here in Maricopa: our Dual Language Spanish Program! Starting from Preschool through 5th grade, our exemplary Dual Language Spanish Program provides daily instruction in both English and Spanish. Our goal is to start students on the path to becoming fully bilingual and biliterate, giving them a beautiful advantage in our global world.
You Belong Here!
We know that children thrive when home and school work together. We do not just welcome parent involvement, we encourage and celebrate it!
There are several ways you can get involved and make a difference:
- Watch D.O.G.S. (Our program for Dads of Great Students)
- Classroom & School Volunteering (Lend a hand where it is needed most)
- Smiling Scorpion PTO (Connect with other parents and plan fun events)
- Site Council (Help guide our school's future)
Ready to connect? Keep an eye on our website and calendar for upcoming campus events, newsletters, and volunteer opportunities.
We are so excited for the year ahead. Let’s work together to make it an amazing one for our students!
Together in learning and growth,
Principal Eva Safranek, Santa Rosa Elementary
