About
Blue Heron Elementary was founded in 2002. It provides a comprehensive pre-kindergarten to fifth-grade education.
Our mission is to educate and empower all Blue Heron students by creating opportunities and experiences that build their knowledge to help students become successful, contributing citizens in a global society. We are committed to providing the academic, social and emotional education students need to succeed as critical thinkers and problem solvers.
This is accomplished by promoting an organizational climate that focuses on continuous learning and improvement and cultivates a school culture that is safe, welcoming and inclusive of all students, staff and families.
Blue Heron has a rigorous academic program complemented by opportunities in art, music, physical education and character-education programs, which support the healthy growth and development of the “whole student.”
