Welcome to Brentwood!

Thank you for taking a moment to see what our community offers students and their families.  It is something I like to call the Brentwood Difference.

From the classroom to the playground, we get to know our students individually.  We give them an opportunity to learn how to experience, protect, and improve the rapidly changing world around them through engaging lessons taught by our dedicated teachers.

Our focus on environmental studies is infused throughout the curriculum, allowing students to get a sense of the diversity that exists around the globe.  We strive to have our students leave us better able to think critically and communicate effectively.  

And just as important, our lessons open the eyes of our students so that they can learn to appreciate and respect the uniqueness of the world’s vast differences. 

Once again, thank you for taking some time to learn more about this special place.

I look forward to meeting you in person.

Warmly,

Thank for you visiting the Challenger School of Sports and Fitness website! 

Challenger is proud to offer a curriculum which infuses sports and fitness into its daily core subjects and curriculum. Our curriculum focuses on teaching the California State Standards and preparing our students to become problem solvers for the 21st century and beyond.

Our teachers aim to design lessons which connect movement with academics. Challenger teachers prepare daily lessons in Physical Education to ensure students have the skills they need to be successful athletes and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Challenger offers a variety of after school activities for our students. Our students have the opportunity to participate in several different sports each year. Some sports we have offered in recent years are: boys and girls basketball, soccer, wrestling, cheerleading, volleyball, flag football, robotics, art, and career curriculum. Each year we strive to add more after school sports and activities for our Champs!  Our basketball teams participate in a local tournament each year. Students may join these activities at no cost and are eligible to participate as long as they are excelling in citizenship and academics.

We look forward to partnering with you to ensure success throughout all aspects of your child's education!

Sincerely,

Thank you for taking the time to review our website and take in all the valuable information that it has to offer. We will be updating it on a regular basis so please check back frequently for the latest information and news about Del Rey and the Victor Elementary School District.
 

The one question I get most often from parents is “How do I help my child be more successful in school”.  There are several ways that you can help your child at Del Rey.  The first, and perhaps most important is to get involved in the school.  Come to the monthly “Donuts with Doug” meetings to hear about what is happening at the school and get updates on what is to come.  This time is dedicated to parents and their questions. 
 

Join the Del Rey Booster club and help plan exciting activities and events for Del Rey students and families.  Become an active member of School Site Council or English Language Advisory Committee so you can lend your voice and help make a variety of decisions about the school and what priorities need to be addressed each.  
 

And finally, become a volunteer at the school or in your child’s classroom. Research is clear that the more you become involved in the school the more succession your children will be at school.  

At Del Rey, we welcome parents on campus each and every day.  Volunteer training takes place monthly after the “Donuts with Doug” or can be scheduled with our School Safety Coordination on an as needed basis.  
 

Thank you for allowing us to work with and educate your child.  There is not greater responsibility than the shaping of the minds of tomorrow.  We take that responsibility very seriously at Del Rey and work hard to make every child successful… Del Rey is a great place to be and learn.

We are focused on maximizing each student’s potential and use these strategies to assist in meeting this goal. Our goal is to provide activities and instructional strategies designed to be compatible with how the brain processes information.

We strive to challenge and improve the skills of all students while making sure to challenge our gifted and high-ability students. At Galileo, we are helping students become thinkers.

Galileo Academy takes strategies previously reserved only for identified GATE students and introduces them to all of our students regardless of ability levels. With these opportunities, and a lot of hard work from staff, students, and parents, we work to attain our mission statement. I am so proud to be the principal of this school and be a part of the amazing work being done here.

Welcome to Park View!

Park View Prep is a school of 21st Century Learning.  We have made it our mission to prepare our Panthers for the job market of tomorrow by teaching California State Standards through the 4 C's: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.  These are the skills identified by the business community, education leaders, and policy makers to best prepare our students for a globalized workforce.

When you are on the Park View campus you will see students engaged in these 21st Century skills in classrooms set up to practice cooperative learning.  The instructional model gives the students the much needed opportunities to build knowledge, process information, learn procedures, think critically, and present information through interacting with others.  Weekly team building and class building in our classes also make our rooms safe spaces for students to openly share ideas.  Not only do the students experience collaboration - the Park View parents can experience it as well through attendance at monthly School Site Council (SSC) meetings and or English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meetings!  All staff meetings are cooperative meetings as well to keep our teacher's skills sharp in their classrooms.

Students and staff are always encouraged to show their PAWS: Pride, Attitude, Work Ethic, and Safety whenever they are on campus or representing Park View Prep.  In times when are PAWS are seen - WE CELEBRATE!!  In times when our PAWS are not seen, we intervene and teach.  PAWS are an essential part of being a Park View Panther.

Welcome to Puesta del Sol!

It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I introduce myself to you as the principal at Puesta Del Sol Elementary School.  Puesta Del Sol has a rich and proud history in VESD, and I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead the PDS team and school community.

My name is Tiffany Sutton and I have dedicated my career to educating children. After teaching in Los Angeles for over ten years, I relocated to Victorville, CA in 2012.  I have served as a teacher and principal in the High Desert for the past nine years, and am now joining the Puesta Del Sol community as your child’s principal. 

My top priority is to ensure your child is learning in a safe and nurturing school environment.  I truly believe that educating our children is a team effort that requires a partnership between teachers, parents and school leadership.  As the old African Proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.”  I am excited to see your children through your eyes and cannot wait to share with you the great things they do throughout their days here at Puesta Del Sol. Please know that I am also here for you as parents, should you need any help navigating any aspect of your child’s education. 

At PDS, we live by five pillars:

I will work diligently to ensure that your children know what these mean as a learner and a contributing member of our school community.

This year promises to be successful as we continue to regain a sense of normalcy.  You can expect that I will continue to work with teachers to ensure that your child(ren) has the tools and support that they need to be most successful. In addition to working with students, I’m excited to develop a partnership with you. I assure you that my door is always open, and I welcome your positive contributions to our learning community. I hope that our collaboration will foster the absolute best learning experience for your student. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions or concerns that you may have as the school year progresses.

With Warm Regards,

Welcome to our Sixth Street Prep! 

At Sixth Street Prep School, we incorporate many strategies to encourage and challenge students to develop their full potential. Without a doubt, the success of SSPS is due to the dedication and devotion of our staff, students and families. The saying, “it takes a village” embodies our belief system at Sixth Street Prep School (SSPS).

All of our teachers collaborate with each other to determine and create programs, initiatives and curriculum to best meet the needs of our students. Our routinely monitored data and annual test scores drive our planning and instruction as we continue to see high levels of student success. Results on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) demonstrates that SSPS students are meeting or exceeding standards at a high rate. SSPS staff recognizes that students are more likely to be engaged and on-task when lessons offer real-life application for the learner.

As a result, lessons are designed to create powerful learning experiences that will motivate students towards high standards of achievement. Such learning experiences engage student curiosity, originality, and interpersonal relationships.

As a staff, we have unanimously agreed to extend the school day by 45 minutes, Mondays-Thursdays. This provides all students with an extra 180 educational minutes each week.

Welcome to Village STEAM School!

We also have several ways for our families to be involved with our campus including School Site Council (SSC), classroom volunteers, “Copy/Staple” group, field trip chaperones, and English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC).

We look forward to partnering with you and helping your child(ren) be the best they can be!
