 Welcome to Leo R. Croce Elementary! We are a K-5 school that includes five Preschool Special Education programs, a Special Education class, and a Full Inclusion program. We provide a positive learning environment that fosters critical thinking skills and we encourage the commitment to life-long learning. We expect students, staff, and families to be respectful, honest, open-minded and responsible. We believe that the community plays a crucial role in educating our students and value the support and opinions of our families.
     Croce follows the California State Content Standards and utilizes the LVJUSD adopted state approved curriculum. Supplemental curriculum materials are used in addition such as: Excel, Math, Accelerated Reading (AR) and Accelerated Math (AM). Thanks to our fabulous PTA, we have the AR and AM program online. We offer differentiated instruction in the classroom for our Gifted and Talented Educated (GATE) students as well as after-school enrichment classes. We provide English Language Development (ELD) for English Learners. We also have computer classes, science specialists, library services, site choral music, fourth and fifth grade instrumental music and physical education.
     Croce is a “Go Green” school dedicated to preserving the environment. The students put into practice reduce, re-use, and recycle; all food and waste products from lunchtime are recycled or composted for the garden; paper, aluminum, batteries and printer cartridges are recycled.
     Parents are an integral part of our school environment. We have several possibilities for parents to become involved and are open to additional ideas and suggestions. We ppreciate the dedication of parents who support the student’s learning in a variety of ways. Parents volunteer in classrooms and make many field trips possible by driving and  haperoning students. We have an extremely active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that supports our school programs both financially and through volunteer efforts. PTA volunteers format our school newsletter Pawand hosts a variety of social events for students. Please check out our PTA website for Important information and details on upcoming events: crocepta.com.
     We have an active School Site Council (SSC). The SSC approves the Single Plan for Student Achievement and allocates the monies from the School-Library Improvement Program (SLIP) funds. Parents participate on our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC), which provides input and support for school programs. We also have a very active GATE parent advisory committee that coordinates student after-school enrichment classes and social events. For more information on how to become involved, please contact Principal Shari Johnston at (925) 606-4706, and she will direct you to various organizations depending on your need or interest.
