Message from our Principal
We want to welcome all of our new families to Acacia! I am so proud of the community of Acacia. Staff, students and parents, in addition to our surrounding community, all work together for the success of our school. When we say, “We are Family!” , we truly are! I am currently in my 19th year as principal of Acacia. I am proud that students want to come to school each day. This is a fun place to be! My staff is top notch and has an undying passion for the whole child. Everyone in our building takes some part in educating our children, regardless of their job title. Our recent 3rd A+ from the Arizona Education Foundation and a national title we earned, is further evidence that we are not only achieving wonderful academic goals, but also social/emotional needs.
Our goal is to take each child at their own level and help them grow. This is done through thoughtful differentiation of instruction in each room K-6th grade.
We have a brand new STEAM building that has its own STEAM classroom. We have our very own “Acacia Engineering Design Process” that our students use when STEAM activities are integrated into our lesson. This room also houses our “School wide Marine Biology Study” where a 55 gallon saltwater tank can be viewed by camera at any time. There are also 7 3D printers for students to learn about 3D printing. As part of our special area classes we have added a technology class to our art, music and PE. This classroom does coding with grades K-6 to add to the STEAM experience.
I invite you to reach out if you would like further explanation of what makes Acacia a GREAT place to be. We look forward to meeting all of our newest owlets soon!
Assistant Principal: Stacey Sallee
Welcome to Acacia Elementary School, home of the Owls!
As the Assistant Principal, I work with the Acacia community to provide a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring that all students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become productive and successful citizens.
At Acacia, we use PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) to establish the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students to achieve social, emotional and academic success. Our PBIS initiative, “The Acacia Way”, utilizes three clear expectations for the behaviors we desire in all areas of our school: Use my words, Respect others' personal space, Respect all aspects of the Acacia community including myself. These expectations are visible and modeled in every location around campus. Starting the first day of school, your student(s) will be learning about “The Acacia Way” through engaging classroom lessons, modeling, PBIS videos and lots of practice. Students are celebrated daily using "Owlstanding Tickets," weekly through prize drawings, and monthly by recognizing "Way to Go" winners. We look forward to celebrating students who follow “The Acacia Way”.
If you have any questions or just want to introduce yourself, please do not hesitate to contact me. We ARE Acacia, and together we can do anything.
