Maricopa - Santa Cruz Elem: Home

Welcome to Santa Cruz Elementary School, home of the Coyotes. We howl with pride every day and wear our school spirit with purple and teal. We are a newer K-5 school in Maricopa, AZ, one of Arizona’s more recently developed cities.

We are a Performing Plus school of 500 students with a nice teacher-to-student ratio. This means your child has more contact with the teacher for individualized learning and character development. We’re dedicated to the future success of every student, and diligently guiding your young learner’s mind during these formative years.

Please take some time to become familiar with our school through this Web site. You’ll always know what’s happening at Santa Cruz Elementary when you visit here. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about any aspect of our school or your child’s education. We’re glad to have you with us!

Dear Parents/Guardians of SCES Students:

Welcome to Santa Cruz Elementary School and welcome to another fantastic school year! The staff and I are looking forward to working with you and your children this year as we continue to provide an exceptional educational program for each and every child.

Our school hours are 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. with an early release every Wednesday, 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Our student drop-off and pick-up location has not changed. It will continue to be located on the North side of the school by the gate.

Please be aware that SCES supports the Board approved uniform dress code. Please see a copy of the dress code policy for you to use when purchasing school clothes. Supply lists that your child will need for the school year are also available.

On behalf of the entire Santa Cruz Elementary staff, welcome and we all look forward to the many delights and milestones this year is sure to hold. It is our goal to ensure that our families have a smooth start to the school year. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
