Welcome to Estrella Vista STEM Academy
Welcome to Estrella Vista STEM Academy! Estrella Vista is innovative. We prepare our students to be competitive in high school, higher education, and the marketplace. We focus on engineering by using Design-Thinking (DT). Our students collaborate, communicate, create, and think critically to solve real-world problems. We are committed to educating the whole child and provide experiences to support future college and career success. We set the standard in a K–8 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) environment.
Introduction
Welcome, Estrella Vista STEM Academy families!
We are diligently working to improve school culture. Having the right environment to support student learning is essential. Our goal is to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn in a fair and equitable educational setting. We look forward to collaborating with all stakeholders to foster this expectation.
As a STEM Academy, we believe each child is a treasure with unique gifts, talents, and capabilities. We work collaboratively to discover and nurture those abilities through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We expect all students and staff members to be respectful, dedicated, hardworking, independent thinkers, and problem solvers.
Estrella Vista promotes four core values, which include the following:
- We are a trusted and established community committed to setting high standards in STEM with integrity and fidelity.
- We believe in developing responsible global citizens.
- We strive for every student, staff member, and community member to exhibit the utmost respect in all situations.
- We believe in building a cooperative and positive team environment conducive to the highest level of STEM learning.
We look forward to having you back in person and participating as a school community. Go Hawks!
A Message from Our Principal
Greetings Hawk Families and Community,
Welcome to our school webpage! At Estrella Vista STEM Academy, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where all students are encouraged to reach their full potential. Our school focus is on engineering, where each grade level participates in age-appropriate engineering challenges to enhance their learning experience. We focus on engineering, providing our students with unique opportunities to engage in this field. Our students participate in engineering learning in class that is supported by our esteemed partners, West-MEC, NASCAR, and Phoenix Raceway. Our dedicated and qualified staff are committed to meeting the needs of every student through our guaranteed and viable curriculum, as well as our All-Things EQ citizenship program.
Plan for Success:
- Students regularly attend school, arrive on time, and are prepared for the day’s learning.
- Students understand that we are partners in their growth and educational journey.
- Students share their progress on goals and classwork in StudentVue, facilitating connections and tracking success and areas needing support.
- Parents can log in to ParentVue to communicate with teachers, update important information for the year, register for bus services, and review academic progress.
