Built in 1986, Los Amigos has a history of exploring new opportunities for applying innovation to improve academic achievement and prepare students for lifelong learning. Designated as an “A+ School” three times since the late 1990s, Los Amigos was this first elementary school to explore a school wide technology-rich learning environment and was designated as the Sunnyside District’s Technology Academy for those efforts. Los Amigos is home to over 700 students grades K through 6 all of who enjoy technology enriched learning. Early learners have tablet computers and shared laptops are used in grades K – 2. Grades 3 through 6 are each assigned a laptop for use throughout the school year and at home. Los Amigos provides for gifted students and those who need Structured English Immersion (SEI), and has a uniquely developed literacy program called “Walk-to-Read,” that allows teachers to give literacy lessons across grade levels for students with similar literacy skills.
