Los Alamitos is a dynamic learning environment within which faculty, parents, community and corporate partners work collaboratively to stimulate, motivate, and support all children's learning through the development of academic excellence, leadership, self-esteem, and social responsibility.  We are a National Blue Ribbon School and National Technology Award Winner.

School Vision - At Los Alamitos Elementary School, students are prepared for lifelong learning and challenges through high academic, behavioral, performance, and curricular standards. Through our commitment to “Every Child a Reader and Writer,” students will become effective communicators through acquisition and utilization of reading, writing, speaking, computing, and problem solving skills. Students are supported as they exhibit and develop a desire to excel in the achievement of personal goals. Students are motivated to ask questions about their ever-changing world in a nurturing and caring environment that respects each child and helps them understand the cultures of others. Our curriculum integrates learning opportunities that foster development of the whole child. Collaboration and teaming between staff members reinforces an atmosphere of commitment by our highly qualified staff. We work toward excellence and value each child, staff members, and family as contributing members of our cohesive school community, and we promote and encourage productive school-family-community partnerships.

Our Mission - The purpose of Los Alamitos is to prepare its diverse students academically and socially for middle school and for life by empowering them with:

• a sense of responsibility

• respect for self and other

• skill and knowledge necessary to meet the challenges of a changing world

Our students, staff, parents, and community will work together cohesively to promote the school mission in a safe, caring environment.
