Mission

To empower our community of learners through education by living and up holding A:shiwi Core Values.

Philosophy

Shiwi Ts'ana Elementary (STE) is committed to promoting each student's potential and building the skills necessary for becoming a responsible, respectful, and productive citizen. STE staff recognized the tremendous responsibility we encounter daily and we will work on developing and maintaining a positive school environment. As a Professional Learning Community, educators and staff will recognize that our school improvement goals are to include culturally relevant curriculum and strive to align our school improvement efforts with the Zuni Public School District organizational priorities:

1. Improve the quality of learning & achievement for all students.
2. Schools operating as part of the larger community: Parental Involvement
3. Support strategies for most in need students.
4. Building relational trust and lateral capacity through collaboration and networking.
5. Transforming schools through professional development, recognition and support.

Keshhi! Ho' Florence Acque le'shina. 
In my 40 years of working in the field of education, I have worked in the capacities of an educational assistant, a teacher, an administrator and am currently the Assistant Principal at Shiwi Ts'ana Elementary School. We are working diligently to provide a quality education for our students and we hope to create partnerships with families to make this a successful endeavor. I am also the district's Bilingual Multicultural Program Coordinator. We have taken a different approach to our Zuni language instruction that is focused on oral teachings. The administration team at STE welcomes you to be an active participant in your child's education and we thank you for providing us the opportunity to teach them.
Elahkwa! I look forward to working with you to make this a fantastic place for your child's education.
