Welcome to E J Russell Elementary where all children Dream Big because they can learn anything!   Our nurturing and challenging learning environment provides the opportunity for all students to achieve their full potential academically, as well as to develop attitudes, skills, interests and knowledge that enables them to become contributing and productive citizens of our school and community. 

We have high expectations for students and focus on their individual learning needs.  Our dedicated and talented faculty and staff ensure our students benefit from engaging lessons that encourage our students to think critically, to think creatively and to be problem solvers.  Every member of our school community works together to provide our students with an environment which nurtures learning. 

The home-school communication is a vital key to building success at school.   We welcome your support in strengthening the home-school connection and encourage you to get involved in your children’s education.  Since you are our partners in education, we will work together to educate and nurture our children.  In order to do so, Edward J Russell Elementary School faculty and staff will continue to promote these important principles in our students, in our teaching and in everything we do by:
• Building character in all students
• Engaging parents and the community in the education process
• Striving to maintain a safe and interesting learning environment
• Teaching all students to learn at high levels. 
   

It is our mission to provide students with the BEST education in an effective learning environment, full of incredible experiences where students Dream Big, because they can learn anything!
