• Dreams being realized, a vision materializing, a mission coming to fruition…

    This past school year, the school community including staff, students and parents came together to develop a new vision and mission for Chaparral. This mission statement for the 21st Century; came from our collective dreams for the future development of Chaparral Elementary School. It illustrates what we believe are the most important factors in ensuring the success of all students at Chaparral:  

    Chaparral is a unified community dedicated to building an environment that promotes the development of the whole child as a successful individual through…
    Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity
