Principal's Message

Welcome to Rancho Mirage Elementary

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

On behalf of the teachers and staff, I would like to welcome you to Rancho Mirage Elementary School! We are looking forward to an exciting school year! Please review this handbook and discuss the importance of its contents with your child. You will find many answers to your questions within the pages of this handbook. Please encourage your child to comply with our rules and expectations. These rules are important in securing your child’s safety and academic progress.

We encourage you to visit the school and take an active part in your child’s education. Throughout the year, you will have many opportunities to be involved in school activities. We welcome and encourage your help and support. We are a closed campus, and you will need to follow all safety protocols in place when coming to campus. We use a system called Raptor to help promote a safe environment when receiving visitors. We believe working together will provide a positive educational experience for your child.

The faculty and staff at Rancho Mirage Elementary constantly strive to provide the best education for your child. We are pleased to announce that every student at Rancho Mirage Elementary is provided with a free breakfast and lunch. We are very excited to begin the new school year and we have many fun and educational activities planned.

We encourage students to set goals for college and their future career. We want the best for all of our students and we believe that every student can and will succeed.

Any member of my administration team and office team will be happy to provide you with the highest quality of customer service when you need it. If you would like to meet with me, please contact Ms. Brenda Martinez and she will schedule an appointment. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, concerns, or you would like to forward a compliment to any of our staff. Working as partners together, we can make a difference in your child’s academic journey.

Sincerely,
Ryan E. Saunders, Ed.D
