Principal

Welcome to the 2026 - 2027 school year at Butterfield Ranch Elementary, home of the Rough Riders!

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to another wonderful year at Butterfield Ranch Elementary. As I begin this new school year, I continue to be inspired by the incredible students, families, and staff who make our school such a special place. Thank you for the trust you place in us each day. We are honored to partner with you in your child's educational journey.

This year, our theme is "Saddle Up for Success." Together, we are preparing our students with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and character they need to amplify their learning. Success looks different for every child, and we are committed to ensuring that each student is challenged, supported, and celebrated as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Butterfield Ranch, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of student success. When schools and families work together, amazing things happen. Our dedicated staff is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where every student feels valued, connected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Throughout the year, we look forward to celebrating achievements, embracing new opportunities, and creating lasting memories as a school community. Whether your family is joining us for the first time or has been part of the Rough Rider family for years, we are excited to partner with you for another outstanding year.

Here's to a year of learning, growth, and Saddling Up for Success together!

With Rough Rider pride,

Amber Orttel-Parks
