Rolando Elementary School

I attended your school in 1950 started Kindergarten I wanted to find out how long your school has been open? I went to your school from 1950 until 1953 when they changed the boundreries and I then went to La Mesa Dale. I have very fond memories of your school. I would love a response regarding the history of this dear old school.

My kids are happy, the teaching staff is top-notch, the Principal is at every event and is most approachable! Great School in my opinion--and I'm a teacher in a different district!

My children have been a Rolando since kindergarden....the school is amazing. So many things tie into making it a great school, the community, the staff and the kids and most of all the principal. We had the most amazing principal every, Mr Magliato but sadly he was transfered to another school. We now have a new Principal Mr Parker, he seems to be a nice man but I am not happy with him as a principal. I hope he doesnt change Rolando....it would be sad to see all the hard work that was put into making the school CA distinguished school go backward.

P.S.happy holidays!

my 4 years at rolando were the most memorable! i transfered from a private school in 2nd grade and i had mrs radenhimer she was a really good teacher but sadly my class was the last she taught she then went to work at the district office :( but the next year was even better!ihad mrs.whitehurst i made really good friends at school! me being a freshmen this year and still emailing my 3rd grade teacher asking her for help on my homework is pretty cool i think! i still have best friends from there and i dont go to the same school as any of them as i moved after 4th grade. the ess program was amazing i hung out with new people and we had so much fun! the summer program is really fun because you go on field trips once a week!

My daughter has been at Rolando for 3 years and has loved every minute of it. The principal and staff are amazing. Rolando truly deserves being named a 2010 California Distinquished School!

Rolando is one of the most excellent public schools I've seen. I am a teacher in a high school, so I have high standards for my son's education. He has been treated with respect, care, and love at Rolando, and has also been held accountable for both learning and behavior. great staff, great administration, great parents and kids.

Rolando has been a wonderful school for our daughter. Her teachers have been very encouraging and supportive. The principal, Mr. Magliato does a great job. The school has a great community feel to it and the parent involvement is top-notch.

I have a daughter that graduated from Rolando and two children that still attend. The teachers at Rolando are wonderful. When there is an issue teachers and staff quickly respond. Mr. Magliato (principal) is excellent. The parents are very involved, so when there are functions you feel like you are apart of the community. Enjoy this school very much and glad my children attend.
