Since our establishment in 2010, Vista del Futuro has been committed to providing the best education in El Paso, Texas. We have assembled a team of top-notch educators who ensure the highest quality education for our students. Our school has grown to include both an elementary and a middle school, offering education from PK3 to 8th grade. The Viper Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Quality of Work, and Quality of Self, help our students understand how their actions can improve their lives and potentially those around them.
Curriculum
Students in PK3 and PK4 have begun following a version of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. This approach allows the students to explore their surroundings while becoming researchers and curious about the world around them.
From kindergarten to 8th grade, we follow the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). However, what sets us apart is our commitment to tailoring our lessons to each student’s needs. Our teachers design their lessons around the knowledge each student needs to master by the end of each six-week period, ensuring that every child receives the appropriate level of challenge.
Communication
Teachers frequently contact parents through phone calls home, or an application called Class Dojo. Our school conducts two mandatory dates where parents and teachers sit down and discuss their child’s progress in the classroom. These events occur in September and February each year. Parents are always encouraged to contact their student’s teachers with any questions.
The school sends out monthly calendars to keep up with activities, newsletters to keep informed with information, and School Reach (our form of reaching all parents at one time) via email and phone calls to maximize the information parents need throughout the month.
Activities
Vista del Futuro offers flag football, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, and basketball. We also offer afterschool music with violin, piano, choir, and orchestra. If parents are unable to pick up their children when they are released from their class, we host an aftercare program that closes at 6:00 PM. (There are small fees for these activities.)
Advantages
Vista del Futuro offers smaller ratio classes in each grade level.
And lastly, an advantage of Vista del Futuro is that we are a FREE charter school. We believe that quality education should be accessible to all.
Please feel free to call the school anytime for more information about our school. We look forward to serving your child(ren) in education.
Respectfully,
Dr. Joe E Gonzales (Superintendent)
Mrs. Julie D. Contreras (Principal)
Mr. Jesse Munoz (Assistant Principal)
