Rota Education Welcome Information

NAVSTA Rota plays a crucial role in supporting our nation’s objectives and defense, providing unmatched logistical support and strategic presence to all of our military services and allies. NAVSTA Rota supports Naval Forces Europe Africa Central (EURAFCENT), 6th Fleet and COCOM strategic priorities by providing airfield and port facilities, security, force protection, logistical support, administrative support and emergency services to all U.S. and NATO forces.

Get all of your school-based questions answered. The School Liaison (SL) helps military families transition into NAVSTA Rota and is the primary contact between the military installation and the local schools and homeschool community. Navy SL personnel understand the difficulty that families face through frequent transitions and extended deployments. Navy SL education professionals work closely with school administrators to foster a positive and mutually beneficial relationship between schools and the military community, all for the sake of the military child.

Parents and community members with questions on school-age military child education are encouraged to contact their local School Liaison. Education professionals with the Navy SL program are located on all major installations and serve as the link between Navy and military families and schools. Please contact your SL at SLPRota@us.navy.mil or +34-956-82-2425 or DSN 314-727-2425 or website: School Liaison (SLO) (navymwrrota.com).
