Ekstrand Elementary’s mission is to provide a learning community that is rich in encouragement, support and high expectations for academic success. We work to strengthen our intellectual, social, emotional and physical skills, while becoming lifelong learners.

Ekstrand is a School-wide Title I school with approximately 460 students from the downtown area of San Dimas. The students here come from a variety of mixed backgrounds. Approximately 12 different languages are spoken in the homes of our students, with Spanish being the dominant home language. Our school is a school-wide Title 1 campus. Ekstrand provides academic interventions through the RTI process to all students not meeting grade level standards.

 

Ekstrand is one of thirteen schools in the Bonita Unified School District. We are nestled in a quiet neighborhood in San Dimas, just north of the city’s library. Our total population of 460 students fill our 18 regular education classrooms; 3 Transitional Kindergarten; 1 Specialized Academic Instruction classroom; as well as an Intervention lab that offers small group and one-on-one instruction to assist those students who are struggling academically in core areas of learning. We are proud that our campus also includes:

• A district nurse, a full-time health clerk, speech pathologists, and a part-time psychologist and counselor.
• A free and reduced lunch and transportation program to help those struggling families in need a helping hand.
• Modernized classrooms containing overhead projector systems, document cameras, interactive SMART white boards, sound systems, student computer stations and wireless internet capabilities. 
• A fully stocked library with the most current and popular titles in children’s literature and an adjoining computer lab boasting fun and educational programs for all grade levels.
• A fully functional Title I lab that provides additional, supplemental resources to enable students to perform at or above grade level proficiency.
• A PTA that supports our campus with family and community events, classroom volunteers and fundraisers that benefit all of Ekstrand’s students with classroom materials, field trips and technological upgrades.
