Excellence and Equity in Education
Thank you for taking the time to visit Explorer Elementary School’s website. Our nurturing K-5 elementary school community serves the needs of more than 525 beautiful children. Throughout the course of a typical school day, Explorer students will be reading, writing, listening, moving, questioning, engaging in discourse and debate, and collaborating with each other in a safe, supportive, caring and fun environment that is guided by our district’s mission and values.
We celebrate our diversity, value education, and promote social growth through enriching academic experiences. We take pride in preparing the next generation of leaders. While we understand the value of a rigorous academic program that creates a culture of excellence while meeting the individual needs of all learners, we also recognize the significance in developing a students' sense of belonging to their school community. We do this through developing the necessary social and emotional skills required for young children to understand the importance of respect, kindness, and compassion for others.
In addition to a fantastic faculty and staff, we have a dedicated and vested PTC. Collectively, we deeply value building a strong home-school connection. Please find the time to engage with our PTC, while also collaborating with the staff at Explorer. We are certain you will see that Explorer Elementary School is a very special place - but don’t take our word for it….. We urge you to visit our school. You will then see firsthand that passionate educators and active learners fill our hallways and classrooms each and every day!
With Explorer POWER,
Mr. Jason Bannister, Principal
