Our mission is:
To enrich each child’s education at Desert Willow Elementary School by organizing fundraising activities to support staffing, for school equipment, and materials for programs which fall outside the DWES school budget. .
To promote a closer relationship between home and school, so that parents, guardians, and staff may cooperate and participate in the education of the students.
To support the school's needs by providing financial support needed through the cooperative efforts of the community, teachers, and parents.

What parents are saying about DWES
Erin G.
Desert Willow was familiar to us because we had family that attended but what solidified our decision to have our kiddos attend was the community feel we got every time we visited. The warm welcome started in the front office and extended through to the whole staff. We were hooked after that!
Current parents of DWES students love our school!

DWES offers an amazing Spanish Immersion program, promotes inclusion, responsibility, and respect from the staff and students, has a small community feel and the campus is parent friendly! Such a wonderful school and environment!
Katie B.
Desert Willow has such a family feel! Principal Dunlap and the staff have done an amazing job creating a sense of community between all the students and families. The learning that occurs at DWES is awesome, and the social emotional growth for my children has been incredible! We love being roadrunners!

We chose DWES and the Spanish Immersion program because we knew the best way to make our children global citizens would be through the gift of a second language.

The DWES administration is attentive and the teachers are beyond dedicated to all of the students. We chose DWES for the Spanish Immersion program and it has not disappointed us. Our kids continue to thrive linguistically in the program.
