Welcome to the home of the Red Rock Raiders. We are a small, rural District located in Red Rock, Arizona, centered one hour from Phoenix and thirty minutes from Tucson, Arizona. You’ll find our town in the lower Santa Cruz River Valley, near Picacho Peak State Park. We serve students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our faculty and staff value each child as an individual, while helping students continually strive for their personal best.

The mission of Red Rock Elementary School District is to provide comprehensive, success-oriented instruction for all students in our growing district. We design learning opportunities to maximize each student’s potential in the areas of academic ability, social and emotional development, physical well-being, cultural and aesthetic awareness, and community contribution and responsibility. Red Rock School District will continue to pursue and implement scientifically research-based educational methods, strategies, and technologies.

Red Rock Elementary School is a professional learning community that ensures each student learns and succeeds in all academic areas and realizes his/her full potential as a positive contributing member of society.

The top priority for every school and the district as a whole is to accelerate the continuous improvement of teaching and learning to enable all students to meet high standards.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Red Rock Elementary School District #5 in Red Rock, Arizona. We are a one school district committed to serving the educational needs of our community’s children. Our goal is to prepare students for a successful future beyond their elementary school years.

Our rigorous curriculum, guided by Common Core Standards, is delivered by highly qualified teachers who value individual student success. Our teachers meet weekly for vertical and horizontal planning to discuss and analyze data, which is gathered by the use of multiple common formative and summative assessments given to students throughout the year. The data drives our instruction as well as our interventions. We are committed to providing our parents, students, and the community of Red Rock with the educational tools that will allow every child to reach their highest potential.

We welcome you to visit your child’s classroom and learn how teaching and learning centers around a caring and safe educational environment. My door is always open to questions or discussion. It is our honor and privilege to work with parents and families as a team to promote continuous student achievement.

Respectfully,

Lillian Norris, District Administrator
