Welcome to Colinas del Norte Elementary!
Colinas del Norte Elementary School was built in 1995 and its name is the Spanish derivative of "North Hills." The facility consists of a main building where the office, gym, library, and cafeteria are located, and eight pods which house a total of 30 classrooms and 7 half-classrooms. We also have 19 portable classrooms.
We believe the best learning environment is one in which community, parents, children, and school staff work together. Our vision is STUDENT EXCELLENCE! Click here for information on how to volunteer.
Parents: ParentConnect has been replaced with a new system (PowerSchool... details)
