OUR MISSION
At Citrus Glen Elementary, we educate the ‘whole child’ offering rigorous academics alongside multiple opportunities to develop the social-emotional skills necessary to succeed in today’s world. Students engage in dance classes, school gardens, visual and performing arts, science and engineering projects, book clubs, field trips, and a variety of experiences designed to offer a well-rounded education that inspires curiosity and lifelong learning.
We have a highly-experienced, collaborative staff committed to working with every child to ensure his or her success. We believe in a growth mindset, working with students to internalize the relationship between hard work and progress. Our campus-wide motto of “Be Kind-Be Safe-Be Responsible” works to build student ownership of learning and behavior. Together, we work to educate and nurture the child of today and prepare the adult of tomorrow!

After months of negotiation sessions, impasse was declared by all parties (VUSD, VUEA, and VESPA) on May 7, 2026, when the gap between the parties could not be bridged through continued discussion. The matter will now move to mediation, where a neutral third-party mediator will be appointed by the California Public Employee Relations Board (PERB), a neutral third party that will help guide conversations toward a solution.
