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.

We hope you like our new Web site. It contains a lot of helpful information, such as the school calendar, news and events going on in our school, and how to get in touch with us. We hope this site will answer any questions you may have about our District. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please stop in and see us. We are here not only to provide a quality education for our students, but also to serve our community. We would love to see you.

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,

Happy New Year 2012! As we approach the beginning of a brand new year, we have opportunities to make new plans, design new strategies, and implement new ideas. There is a special kind of joy and satisfaction in planning lessons and activities as well as planning for improvement in areas of weakness. Whether one’s responsibility is administrating, supervising, teaching, preparing lunches, maintaining a building, or managing an office, there is always room for improvement and for new ways to do a good job even better.

We can be proud of what we have achieved at Red Rock Elementary. Our achievements are not due to complacency and satisfaction with the status quo. Our achievements are due to a staff of dedicated, aspiring men and women who have a common goal — do what is best for the students! We also have dedicated parents who send us the best students and are willing to help out in any way possible.

In 2012, we must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement, evaluate what we have, and determine what we can do to improve by identifying what we need to make those improvements. Together we can make 2012 the best year yet!

Respectfully,

Lillian Norris, District Administrator
