S.T.E.A.M. FOCUSED NAVAJO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTO

Scottsdale, Arizona

 

Parent Teacher Organization

Welcome to Navajo Elementary School
Nestled in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona, Navajo Elementary is a proud Cognia STEM-accredited school with a dynamic focus on S.T.E.A.M.—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Our school is built on a strong foundation of innovation, community, and academic excellence. We’re incredibly proud of our dedicated faculty, engaged families, and a curriculum that truly sets us apart.

At Navajo, we believe that education is a shared effort. That’s why we invite and encourage all families to get involved—both through volunteer opportunities and ongoing support throughout the school year.

From flagship events like the Fall FestivalValentine’s SocialGame Night, and Parents’ Night Out Auction, to year-round initiatives like Teacher Appreciation Lunches, the Snack Cart, and our TAPS Program (Teachers Assisting Parent Support), there’s a place for everyone to contribute.

Our community also supports incredible student enrichment opportunities including the Book Vending Machine, our on-campus Greenhouse, the Harvesting Garden, and the Innovators Lab—all designed to spark creativity, responsibility, and hands-on learning in alignment with our S.T.E.A.M. goals.

We rely on the strength and generosity of our parent community to keep these initiatives thriving. Your participation—whether you volunteer your time, donate resources, or attend events—directly impacts your child’s growth and helps foster a culture of collaboration and care.

The Navajo PTO meets monthly, and all parents and community members are always welcome to attend.

Our mission: To promote engaging S.T.E.A.M.-centered activities and community involvement that support our children’s academic and social development—empowering them to value themselves and one another.

Our mission is to promote S.T.E.A.M. focused activities and community events which further develop our children, academically and socially, empowering them to value themselves and each other.
