School Description and Mission Statement (School Year 2018—19)
Ekstrand is one of thirteen schools in the Bonita Unified School District. We are nestled in a quiet neighborhood in San Dimas, just north of the city’s library. Our total population of 450 students fill our 19 regular education classrooms; 3 Transitional Kindergarten; 1 Spring Transitional Kindergartens; 1 Specialized Academic Instruction classroom; as well as an Intervention lab that offers small group and one-on-one instruction to assist those students who are struggling academically in core areas of learning. Ekstrand offers a stellar GATE program that supports extra academic stimulation and activities. We are proud that our campus also include:
- A district nurse, a full-time health clerk, speech pathologists, and a part-time psychologist and part-time counselor.
- A free and reduced lunch and transportation program to help those struggling families in need a helping hand.
- Modernized classrooms containing overhead projector systems, document cameras, interactive SMART whiteboards, sound systems, student computer stations and wireless internet capabilities.
- A fully stocked library with the most current and popular titles in children’s literature and an adjoining computer lab boasting fun and educational programs for all grade levels.
- A fully functional Title I lab that provides additional, supplemental resources to enable students to perform at or above grade level proficiency.
