I just love this school! The teacher's and principle work really hard for their students and community. Unfortunately my son had to leave this school last year. Due to being ( military) but he had attended this school since he was in Pre-K. We really miss it! Everyone there was like family to us. I never worried when I dropped him off for school like I do now. I always knew he was in great hands. It's such a warm and welcoming atmosphere! You are always greeted with a smile and a pleasant hello when entering the building. They take such pride in educating the students they go the extra mile. I have drove by the school at 6:00pm at night and still see teachers there preparing for the next day. I wished every school was like Elk Valley! Elk Valley staff thank you so much for what you did for my son. How the staff worked with him and his disability to make him a well rounded young man. I will forever hold you close to my heart Elk Valley! "Go Elks!" Close Quote
