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

April 2023

Hawk Families,

We are preparing for our yearly assessments. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and brings a snack during testing. This can sometimes be an anxious time for our students. The best thing you can do for your child to prepare is tell them you believe in them and that they can do it. Leave an encouraging note in the morning and let them know to do their best. Attendance is very important. Please make sure your child is on time, every day, and especially during our testing times. Please schedule appointments before or after school on our testing days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We are here to help!

    Be well, take care, and stay safe, Hawks!

    Sincerely,

    Nicole Durazo
