About Us

Established in 2005, we began serving students kindergarten through fifth grade in our modular building on East Perry Avenue. The second year we doubled in size and celebrated many successes. In the fall of 2007, we moved to our brand-new beautiful brick and mortar building on Forest Pines Drive and begin serving students pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.

Mascot: SLY fox

Colors: Forest Green and Gold

  • In delivering high quality instruction.
  • Student performance based and formal assessments will provide information to plan instruction for each individual student.
  • In celebrating diversity where all people and cultures are respected and incorporated into the curriculum.
  • Technology will be integrated across the curriculum school-wide.
