Fireside Elementary School

 

 About Our School


One of the best kept secrets in the Boulder Valley School District, Fireside Elementary sets the standard for excellence in academic achievement. We have just begun our 14th year as a center for learning in Louisville with a $90,000 renovation of our playground. Built in partnership with local govern ment, businesses and our PTO, our new "Falcon’s Nest" play area is the only playground that is completely handicap accessible in Louisville.

One of the numerous reasons for our continued success is the quality of the staff. Several of our teachers have been recognized for their leadership and expertise in a variety of content areas. In addition, Fireside enjoys a great deal of parent support. We believe whole-heart edly in the partnership that should exist between home and school. Our parent satisfaction surveys indicate that this partnership is strong and purposeful.

With a rich, multicultural population, we have families that speak 15 different languages at our school. Our students and staff represent many different cultures from around the world.

Fireside’s student achievement scores are among the highest in the school district and state as measured by the CSAP. However, strong academic achievement is not enough! We believe that all aspects of a child’s development are equally important. We are committed to celebrating and challenging the unique abilities in every child, respecting individual differences and creating a safe environment that nurtures the natural curiosity in all of us.

 

 School Mission and Vision


To celebrate and challenge the unique abilities in every child; to respect individual differences; and to create a safe environment that promotes a community of learners and nurtures the curiosity within each of us.
