Welcome to Ortega Elementary!    Our goal is to create an environment where every adult and child will develop a growth mindset.  We will focus on perseverance, challenging ourselves, and learning from our mistakes.

Ortega is a Museum Magnet School, which means that we partner with area museums to provide hands-on, minds-on learning experience for every child. Our students examine their world, explore their strengths, and exhibit their knowledge.  Twice each year, our students transform the school into a living museum.  Each grade level works together to create an amazing exhibit for families and community members to enjoy.

Communication is essential for success.  Please feel free to call, e-mail, or stop by the school to introduce yourself.  I can't wait to meet you!
