Welcome to Ripon Elementary! We are located on historic Main Street in Ripon, California. Ripon Elementary is composed of a diverse group of approximately 470 Transitional Kindergarten to 8th grade students, a caring support staff, dedicated and talented teachers, and supportive families and community members.
Ripon Elementary believes that our children are our most precious resources for the future. We believe education is a partnership among children, their families, and our school. We know that all children can learn and succeed in a safe environment. High expectations lead our students to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, skillful communicators, and responsible, respectful, and curious citizens.
Embedded in Ripon Elementary’s mission and vision is the belief that all students, regardless of their background, can learn. To make this a reality, the school provides every student a safe and secure learning environment where students have equal access to a challenging and rigorous core curriculum and a variety of enrichment opportunities.
It is an expectation for every member of the Ripon Elementary family to be respectful, responsible, safe, kind and willing to have a growth mindset. Assisting me in implementing the school’s mission and vision into effective practices in the classroom is a team of highly trained certificated and classified staff.
Inspired by a culture of continuous learning, our school is prepared to be innovative and creative thinkers, keep a positive learning environment that welcomes exploration and enhances confidence to be future ready.
