Breen Elementary School

Breen Elementary School opened in August 1994 and is one of 18 schools in the Rocklin Unified School District. It serves students in transitional kindergarten through 6th grade, with an enrollment of approximately 425 students. Breen is located in the center of Stanford Ranch, a dynamic and supportive community. The staff at Breen provides an exemplary learning environment that is positive and nurturing with very high academic and behavioral standards. Our primary core belief is that all children can learn at high levels.

Parent participation is appreciated and strongly encouraged at Breen. We're fortunate to have hundreds of parent volunteers who work to improve the academic and social programs at the school. Parents also actively participate with the School Site Council and Parent Teacher Club. Parents and staff are dedicated to creating a safe learning environment in which students interact positively with each other and reach their academic potential. Breen’s Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) Program has enhanced this atmosphere and stresses positive relationships. Our Bobcat Awards reward program encourages students to be people of high character. The California PBIS Coalition awarded Breen Elementary the Gold Level for implementing PBIS.

Classroom activities are designed to accommodate the variety of ways in which children learn best -- using all their senses while actively engaging. Full-time P.E. and VAPA (visual and performing arts) teachers provide students with standards-based P.E. and arts curriculum. Community members use Breen’s facilities in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for activities such as basketball, soccer, Boy/Girl Scouts, etc. Breen was selected as a California Distinguished School in 2002 and 2008.

The mission of Breen Elementary, a dynamic educational and nurturing school community, is to inspire our students to achieve their academic potential, ignite a passion for lifelong learning, and become responsible, well-rounded citizens by:
