About Moreno Elementary

  • Welcome to Moreno AVID Academy!

    We’re proud to serve a vibrant and diverse community of nearly 400 students from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through sixth grade. At Moreno, we believe in inclusion and equity, our campus supports both physically handicapped and non-handicapped students, working together in a caring and respectful environment.

    Moreno is a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) school. That means we focus on creating a safe, welcoming, and positive environment for all. We are proud to share that Moreno earned the Platinum Medal Award for our school-wide PBIS implementation last year. Our three core values are simple but powerful:
    We Are Respectful. We Are Responsible. We Are Kind.

    We are also proud to be an AVID Elementary School for over 11 years. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) helps students develop strong academic habits like organization, note-taking, inquiry, and collaboration. Through daily practice, our students build the skills they need to succeed not only in elementary school, junior high and high school, but in college and life beyond. We foster a strong college-going culture every year. We dedicate time to exploring college and career paths, so our students understand what it takes to succeed and believe in their own potential.

    As a uniform school, we believe that a shared dress code promotes a sense of community, school pride, and readiness to learn each day.

    At Moreno, we believe in nurturing the whole child. That’s why we offer a variety of extracurricular opportunities throughout the year. From Chess Club and Computer Coding Club to sports teams like basketball, soccer, and track, students are encouraged to explore their interests and discover new passions.

    Moreno's Mission Statement:

    "To develop students through rigorous educational and co-curricular programs into critical, reflective thinkers with the knowledge and skills to communicate effectively, to integrate technology for learning, and to contribute to an ever-changing, diverse community."

    Everything we do at Moreno AVID Academy is made possible through the dedication of our staff, the involvement of our families, and the spirit of our students. Together, we are one strong, supportive, and caring community, committed to helping every child thrive.

    We’re glad you’re here. Let’s make it a great year together.
