Principal's Message

Welcome Students and Parents


It is my pleasure to join the Rosita Learning Community. I have been with the Garden Grove Unified School District for 26 years and an administrator for 17 years. I believe all children can learn at high levels and it is our duty and mission to help them be all that they can be and to prepare them for Intermediate School and beyond.

At Rosita Elementary School we provide a safe and positive learning environment for children. Student success is based upon teamwork between school, home, and community. Students who follow the rules are the ones most successful in school. We expect scholarly behavior from all our students.

Garden Grove Unified School District has developed an educational program that is consistent with research and effective practices. Rosita Elementary School emphasizes student-teacher interaction, order and purpose, student-centered decisions, an attitude of optimism, enthusiasm and high expectations. Students are valued by teachers and experience programs that express caring for students, and encourage parent participation and community involvement.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know our parents, students and staff to work together to build an even greater Rosita learning community. Please keep yourself informed and participating by reading our Tuesday Newsday sent home most Tuesdays in our Take Home Tuesday folder. You also can help by reading and signing the planner daily in 3rd - 6th grade. Don't forget to be part of our PTO and attend our Pastries for Parents throughout the year. I have an "open door¨ policy, so please feel free to come in and discuss any thoughts, suggestions, or concerns you may have.

Rosita scholars will continue to grow and learn with the support of you, our community, and staff. Go Roadrunners!

Sincerely,

Don Terreri, Principal
