Dear Families,

C.W. Dillard Elementary School is proud to align with the mission of the Elk Grove Unified School District, which is committed to building an inclusive learning community where every student is challenged to reach their highest potential. At Dillard, we share this commitment and dedicate ourselves to providing a high-quality education in a safe and equitable environment for every child, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our mission at Dillard is to foster a challenging, engaging, and supportive environment that promotes lifelong learning. To achieve this, our talented staff focuses on creating classrooms grounded in social and emotional learning, encouraging positive peer collaboration, and offering rigorous academic opportunities. As the foundational step in your child’s educational journey, we are passionate about nurturing a love of learning and ensuring that every student, in every subject, every day, is equipped to become a college, career, and life-ready graduate. A cornerstone of this effort is our implementation of the AVID program (Advancement Via Individual Determination), which helps students develop the skills they need to succeed.

We deeply value the partnership of our families in supporting the success of our students. Your involvement—whether through participation in the Site Council, PTO events, volunteering in classrooms and the library, helping with activities, or attending field trips—plays a vital role in creating a vibrant and thriving school community. Together, we send a powerful message to our students that education and regular attendance are priorities.

 

Student safety is at the heart of everything we do. Through our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) program, we promote respectful, responsible, and safe behavior in a positive environment. We strictly enforce our discipline policy and require all visitors to check in through the school office to maintain a secure and welcoming atmosphere where every student feels comfortable and ready to learn.

 

At C.W. Dillard Elementary, we believe in teamwork, open communication, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement. With these values guiding us, we create a school where children love to learn and excel.

Warm regards,
Trina Keating, Principal
