What is Special About Our School?
Rainier View Elementary is a learning community dedicated to continuous growth in student achievement. Parents and staff effectively work together to make quality decisions. These partnerships are most evident in Rainier View’s School Leadership Team, the PTA, and participation in school activities.
Teachers loop with their classes to stay with the same students for two-year assignments. Students with special learning needs are served in a variety of ways, including a special education developmental preschool, Integrated Kindergarten, Resource Room support, Learning Assistance Program and GATE Program.
Rainier View emphasizes citizenship, technology, and community involvement. A student art gallery, created ten years ago, greets visitors at the front door. Each spring students submit artwork for the gallery, and a panel of judges selects one primary and one intermediate piece become part of a permanent displays.
Consistently responsible, respectful, and cooperative students are rewarded the FLYER badge and are honored at monthly citizenship assemblies.
Our learning community provides a positive environment that motivates and supports students and families. Working as a team with parents, the Rainier View staff makes a difference in children’s lives.No Child Left Behind Report Card
