Welcome to Kinder Ranch Elementary
Welcome to this 2023-2024 school year at Kinder Ranch Elementary! Our school serves PreK-5th and is a school with many traditions! We are a school that creates and celebrates community through a house system (Heshima, Sharaf, Ansvar and Azim). Students in grades 3-5 and all staff members are each a part of a house and represent it proudly. Although there are 4 houses, we are one strong community. Our Kinder-2nd graders also participate in building relationships through Cowboy Connect, when they partner up with their upper grade cowboy buddy for some fun!
Kinder Ranch faculty and staff value positive relationships with students and each other. We do believe in the words, “Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can be.” Through these connections, our students are growing, learning, and are “Living the Brand of Greatness.”
