Welcome to Pasadena Elementary School! We are excited to have your family with us.

Learning is our school’s central mission and we believe all students can and will learn. Pasadena Elementary School is a supportive and caring educational community that provides our students with successful experiences. We have created an environment that provides excellence in teaching and learning so that all students will participate responsibly in our diverse and changing world. It is the mission of Pasadena Elementary School to prepare all students to achieve personal academic, social, emotional and physical success. We are dedicated to preparing students for college and career readiness, promoting academic excellence and citizenship for all students. Students, staff, parents and our business partners are all part of our collaborative learning community. Together we achieve and maintain an atmosphere of respect, support, and high expectations. Our parents and community volunteers work together with our staff to create successful experiences for our children. Our staff is a talented and hard-working team of teachers. As dedicated professionals, they engage in a continual process of staff development which assists them in designing challenging and relevant curricula, aligned to state standards. All of this reflects our belief that learning is a life-long process.

We believe children can succeed and thrive in an environment that provides challenging, rigorous, and rich experiences in a safe and supportive atmosphere. The faculty and staff of Pasadena Elementary School are committed to helping each student reach his/her potential. Our school values are to #CARE: Care, Achieve, Respect, Engage.

We invite you to take an active role in your child's education by becoming a volunteer, joining the PTA, and by communicating with your child's teachers. Monthly school newsletters will be posted to the website, and additional resources and notifications will be available via messages. To further connect with the school, please download the AACPS app and establish log-in for Parent Portal and Brightspace.
