Welcome to Littleton Elementary STEM Academy

Welcome to the online home of Littleton Elementary STEM Academy, home of the Firebirds. Located in the city of Avondale, Arizona, we are one of seven elementary schools in the Littleton Elementary School District. Our students receive instruction that is grounded in the traditional subjects, but what sets us apart are the opportunities our students have to explore problems that emphasize the use of computers to simplify solutions. All students have access to computers, which gives them access to the latest tools and software to develop the skills necessary to explore and engage relevant computer science topics, approaches, and skills, like coding and robotics.

We’ve created this website for the dedicated parents, teachers, students, and community members of Littleton Elementary STEM Academy. We hope you visit our site often to stay up to date on the exciting news and events of our school.

Use our site as a helpful resource to stay involved in your child’s education. You will find more about us and our staff, as well as answers to your most frequently asked questions here on our user-friendly site. Use our Calendar to coordinate your busy schedule, and feel free to contact us anytime—we value your questions and committed interest in your child’s future.

Littleton Elementary District actively monitors the content of this website. However, should you find an error or outdated material, please contact us. You can also email us to report suspected misuse of school resources, voice your concerns, or express compliments.

A Message from Our Principal

Greetings Firebird Families,

We hope you took the time to enjoy your family and friends over the summer break. We are excited to be entering another year with you. Our school goals are raising student achievement in math and Language Arts and building community.

You may find the updated version of our mitigation procedures on our district website. There will be more information that will be shared with our families about masks, visitors and social distancing via Remind, social media, and Constant Contact. At this point in time a decision about on-campus visitors has not been reached. This will be discussed on July 12. School hours are from 7:20 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. Families are welcome to drop off their children when the school gates are open between 7:00 and 7:20 a.m. When family members come to our campus to sign out a child they will be required to enter through the front office and show identification. It is important that parents also communicate this to family members to who you have given permission to.

There will only be three gates open between 7:00 to 7:20 a.m. and 2:20 to 2:35 p.m. The three gates that will be open will be the gate by the front office at the front of the school, the side gate by the pre-school building, and the walker gate off of Avondale Blvd. Only students and staff enrolled at Littleton STEM Academy will be allowed through the three opened gates in the morning. You will bring your students to either one of the gates for entrance and pick up. The three gates will be staffed by Littleton STEM Academy employees. They will make sure only students and staff are going in and out of these gates. Bus riders will be escorted by staff members to and from the busses and bike riders can use any gate to enter or exit the campus.

Please make time to visit us on July 26 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. for our annual meet the teacher event. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of our teachers, find out what resources we use and what tools your students will need in order to maximize their educational experience. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact us at (623) 478-5700.
