About Redwood Shores Elementary School
About Redwood Shores Elementary School
Established in 2010, we are known for our skilled team of educators, supportive family community, and strong school culture. With classrooms from Transitional Kindergarten through fifth grade and enrichment opportunities that foster curiosity and creativity, we are driven by each child's social-emotional and academic success.
Our school is the recipient of many forms of support from the Redwood Shores community. Our students’ families are integral partners who care deeply about our school and enliven the campus with their presence, volunteer power, and involvement. The members of our Parent-Teacher Association and Executive Board work together to sustain our tradition of school-family partnership, to host events, to organize volunteers, to coordinate and fund enrichment for our students. We are also fortunate to receive support from SchoolForce, the district's educational foundation. Our partners and staff go above and beyond to make each student's experience at Redwood Shores exceptional.
Thanks for visiting our website, and please let us know of any questions or concerns.
