El Monte Elementary's Vision/Mission Statement:
At El Monte Elementary we strive to deliver engaging, rigorous and culturally relevant instruction that is inclusive to all students. We embrace the whole child and celebrate their unique talents and needs by addressing the academic and social emotional needs of each student with a focus on equity and inclusion. We are committed to continually reflect on and change our practices and curriculum to mirror all students and families and to disrupt patterns of institutionalized racism.
Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be an Ally

Visitor's must sign in at the office. A visitor’s pass will be issued. The volunteers working with students must be district fingerprinted and cleared to volunteer. Visitors need to return to the office to sign out.
In order to eliminate unnecessary classroom interruptions, we request that parents and other visitors leave messages, forgotten lunches, books, etc., in the office for their child. In this way, the teacher is given the article or message at his/her break time, rather than interrupting students precious learning time. We appreciate your cooperation.
More information here on volunteer requirements.

Dear Bulldog Families,
Thank you for supporting your child and their teacher in the first months of distance learning. Teacher schedules and PBIS behavior matrixes continue to be found at this link. Please call the office if you have any tech issues or if you need your homelink account password. We encourage all families to be on homelink and are happy to assist you in getting on! Please connect with us on Class Dojo as well as we share many updates there. Please visit our PTA page when you can as we are still doing fundraisers this year to help support our students learning and staff initiatives.
Gratefully,
Ms. DeMartitni
