Did you know that Mariposa Elementary School earned the Florida PBS Model School distinction for two years? We earned Silver Level distinction for 2007-2009. Our school is one of only 44 schools in the state of Florida that earned the Silver Level. We are very proud of our staff and students for achieving this status.
We are recycling empty printer cartridges & used cell phones. Contact Mr. Rinelli
Mariposa's Vision
At Mariposa, we believe that children and their progress is our primary concern. We strive to create an active learning environment comprised of teachers, students, and parents who honor each other's talents and gifts. We believe that teachers are designers of challenging and authentic work and are engineers of an encouraging atmosphere where students are motivated to take risks, explore innovative ideas, and be effective decision-makers. We believe that students can be more successful when parents become partners with the school. Our mutual goal is to develop each child's positive self-worth, to be respectful of others, and to demonstrate the expectation that learning is a lifelong experience that will ensure success.
Mariposa's Mission
We will create a learning community that supports and inspires us to be active learners, problem-solvers and decision makers. Through work, we recognize that our motivation and effort enable us to accomplish our goals.
