Principal’s Message
“Working together for student success.”
Welcome to Borrego Springs Elementary School, a small country school with “big-city” programs. We have only 230 students in Preschool-Grade 5 and 13 highly qualified teachers. Our programs reflect the diversity of our student population and the beauty and wonder of the Anza Borrego Desert that surrounds us. We strive to meet the individual needs of our students through the use of on-going assessments, focused instruction and a rich and balanced curriculum.
Our focus this year is on vocabulary development (Tier 2 Words) and writing across the curriculum. Research consistently shows that students who can write well, excel in all subject areas. Teachers will continue to receive professional development throughout the year in the various genres of writing and strategies to use in the classroom.
We are especially proud to offer our students a Dual Immersion Program where students learn in both Spanish and English. This innovative program is in its fifth year and we now have Dual Language Classrooms in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades.
Although small, we offer an amazingly rich curriculum for our students. These include:
- Dual Language Program – English/Spanish
- Computer Lab
- Library
- Music Teacher
- SPARKS PE Program
- After School Program from 3 – 6:00 PM, offering a variety of classes
- Junior Ranger Program with the Anza Borrego Desert State Park
- Ride Along with the State Park Rangers
- 5th Grade Camp Program
- Collaboration with community groups for student programs & field trips
- School Garden Program
- Assemblies for Student Recognition
- Accelerated Readers
- Rolling Readers
- GATE Program (Gifted and Talented Education)
- Running Club
We welcome parent participation and involvement! There are many opportunities such as our Site Council as well as DELAC (District English Language Advisory Committee). Meeting times will be announced in our weekly “Thursday Letter” and on our year-long calendar. Please feel free to call the office with your questions or just stop by.
