Welcome to Sopris Elementary SchoolWe believe together we can teach and inspire all students to excellence. We believe all students should be engaged and challenged in their learning experiences. We value relationships, hard work, and diversity.  Sopris Elementary students thrive in a learning environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth.We strive to make strong connections with students, families, colleagues and our community to create a safe, warm learning environment while challenging learners to be their best in all that they do.  By doing so we can maximize our effectiveness and demonstrate the importance of school and education to our students. Working jointly with our stakeholders, the following themes arose as important guiding principles to inform our ongoing strategic planning and continual improvement efforts to reach our vision: Increase academic rigor and growth for all students.*
