Desert View Elementary

Desert View Elementary Preschool - 6th grade elementary school. Desert View affords students a rich curriculum aligned to Arizona College and Career Ready Standards.

Desert View Elementary School, in the Washington Elementary School District, serves approximately 500 prekindergarten through sixth grade children. Our school boundaries extend north to parts of Hatcher Avenue all the way south to Northern Avenue, and from 16th Street on the east to points on Central Avenue on the west. Our school vision is: Every teacher, engaging every child, every day. We are

committed to our Continuous Improvement Plan, which focuses on instructional practices. Staff meets to plan and use data to make decisions to best meet the needs of all students every day. Staff works together to implement the Response to Intervention (RTI) model. The structure of RTI is designed to provide Desert View students with added academic support. Teachers focus on increased student engagement and academic growth for all. Desert View School implements the PBIS School-wide discipline program. All students follow the rule, “be safe, be respectful, be responsible.”

After 30 years of dedication to Desert View, Joyce Brown, or “Mama Joyce”, as so many lovingly call her, is retiring. Joyce has touched the lives of so many of our students, their families, our staff members and DV community members in her time at DV. Joyce has been a staple in our literacy lab and many other roles on our campus, and former students regularly come back to ask if Mama Joyce is still here so they can say hi. While we are going to miss her kind and loving presence on campus, we are so excited for her to enjoy her well earned, well deserved relaxation and time with her family.

We love you, Mama Joyce! 💚

We had our final quarterly awards assembly of the 2025-26 school year! We are so proud of all of the students who worked so hard this year to show that they were doing their best, being safe, respectful and responsible, and being great role models on our campus!

Way to go, Norsemen!
