Ramona Elementary School Hemet Unified School District

Inspire! Encourage! Empower! Achieve!

That's our motto here at Ramona Elementary School. We strive for academic achievement, physical fitness and the establishment of a creative learning environment that effectively serves a diverse population of students. Using available resources, standards-based instruction, data analysis of student work, and differentiated school day intervention programs, it is our goal that all students will demonstrate achievement at or above the proficient level in the core areas in alignment with California State Standards and the tenets of the No Child Left Behind legislation.

The last day of school is June 1st! Keep up your hard work and end the year strong!

Congratulations to the 4th and 5th Grade Students who made Honor Roll!

What a wonderful evening we had celebrating the hard working fourth and fifth graders. Students were awarded with a ribbon at West Valley High Schooll. Honor Roll kids had to be proficient or advanced on their previous year CST and also had to maintain 3's and 4's on their current year report card. We are very proud of our Ramona Honor Roll Students.

JiJi is HERE!

Just ask your child about ST Math or JiJi as they affectionately know our penguin friend! Jiji (by ST Math) is an award-winning web-based program that helps students conceptualize math. Instead of memorizing facts, this great series of "games" helps them to visualize mathematics. Without even realizing it, kids are learing how to solve highly-complex math problems and having tons of fun while doing it! Click Here for a link to a parent letter in English and Spanish to give you more information! If you're still curious, go to http://www.mindresearch.net/cont/programs/prog_iis.php and you'll learn all about Jiji for yourself!

Kids! Don't forget! If you want to use Jiji at home, you NEED this password:
