Everett Elementary School

  • The Edward Everett School is committed to strong academics as well as the social, emotional, and physical health needs of students.

    Students' social needs are met through our school-wide social competency curriculum, as well as a health curriculum.  Our science specialist works with K-5 students. Students also participate in Communications, which is literacy through the arts, least once per week.  Students also have weekly choral music instruction and physical education.  Our after-school extracurricular activities include Environmental Club, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts.
