Elm Creek Elementary

Support educational excellence at Elm Creek Elementary

Elm Creek Elementary, in Maple Grove, Minnesota, serves approximately 500 students and their families through a variety of programs. We are proud of our active parent volunteer program that supports student, classroom, and building needs in a variety of ways. Grade level parties and Partners in Art are just a few of the special programs that parents lead.

Students have music and/or physical education learning opportunities every other day. We believe it’s important to educate the “whole child.” Music programs give students performance opportunities.

Students serve as student volunteers, school safety patrol members, and “recycling team” members. Students have opportunities to participate in Continental Math League, Read Naturally, Word Masters, D.A.R.E., Flyer’s Club (extended day programs for math and reading support) and a variety of Community Education enrichment courses offered throughout the year. 

Several special education support programs are available. Elm Creek also hosts a preschool program for 4-year-olds. Elm Creek houses a Kidstop program to care for students before and after the regular school hours.

An active PTO supports a variety of fun, family events throughout the school year: School Carnival, School Dance, BINGO nights, Holiday Secret Shoppe, Barnes and Noble Principal Night, Field Day, Fun Run, and Book Fair.

The school uses Positive Behavior Intervention Supports, a proactive strategy of creating a positive and consistent learning environment for all students. Morning Meetings in each classroom help to build classroom community and an acceptance of differences. Student nametags promote safety and help to build school-wide community.

The dedicated and caring Elm Creek staff continually strives to meet the needs of all students. Our mission is to inspire and prepare all students with the confidence, courage, and competence to achieve their dreams; contribute to community; and engage in a lifetime of learning.
