Mission

Valdez Elementary School commits to equity through Dual Language Immersion and culturally relevant, individualized education for all learners.

Dual Language Immersion: closing the achievement gap and increasing equity by creating authentic, research-based education for all students, in order that they experience both sociolinguistic and academic success in two languages together.

Commitment to Community and Culture: creating a community together that works towards an equitable society by valuing the culture and identities of all community members.

High Expectations for Academic Success: providing authentic, personalized learning through intentional, collaborative, data-driven planning to create meaningful and lasting academic success.

Vision

The Power of Together.

At Valdez, our strong dual language program helps students of all backgrounds realize their full potential by becoming bilingual and bi-literate in English and Spanish, exploring and celebrating diverse cultures and heritage, and learning to be critical thinkers in all academic areas. We provide content in English and Spanish for all students, regardless of native language, every day and in all grades.
