Here at Ojo Caliente, and within Mesa Vista Consolidated School District, we have a clear mission and vision that direct our approach in providing the best possible education to our students. 

The mission of the Mesa Vista Consolidated School District is to provide all students with educational learning experiences that will promote life-long learning.

The Mesa Vista Consolidated Schools Board of Education believes that as a caring and nurturing Governing Entity, ALL students can learn given positive supports and resources to administrators and staff in creating a conducive learning environment.

We believe that Ojo Caliente Elementary School exists to educate every child. Each student has a responsibility in this process to be a well-motivated individual, interested in committing him/herself to reach his/her greatest potential. Each student has a unique set of needs for which must be met and it is our purpose to help him/her reach his/her full potential intellectually, socially and emotionally.

We believe that all learners need to be rigorously challenged; that all learners need to be empowered with both the basic skills and the critical thinking ability that will enable them to become productive contributing members of a racially and culturally diverse, yet increasingly interdependent, world.

We believe in the value of both individual effort and group cooperation.

We believe that our individual classes and school need to be a safe, caring place of learning; a place that recognizes the unique value of each person who studies or works in our midst.

We want to build and continually nurture a school climate that recognizes the importance of serious work and fun too; a school climate that delights in the wonder, energy, and excitement of all our students.
