“Empowering students to succeed by excelling in attendance, achievement, and citizenship.”
Evansville Elementary provides an engaging atmosphere for all students. Staff members believe and act on the mission statement, “Empowering Students to Succeed by excelling in attendance, achievement, and citizenship." Evansville celebrates the efforts of its students and staff in these three areas with the awarding the Eagle Cup every year. The school is committed to the idea that every student will learn. Our teachers provide high-quality, engaging instruction to empower students in reaching their learning goals. We develop the child's ability to think, problem-solve, and create solutions. Evansville has received the National ESSA Distinguished School honor twice in the last five years.
Programs
Instruction is based on state standards. We are proud that our students have achieved a state ranking of "Exceeding Expectations" on state testing for four of the last six years. In reading, we have worked diligently with the University of Wyoming Literacy Center to align our work with the "Best Practices" in Literacy. Students receive an integrated approach to reading and writing. Literacy instruction lasts for at least 90 minutes. Developing students' deep levels of understanding is key to Bridges Math. Students learn math in engaging and coherent ways during their 90 minutes of math instruction. Students learn math in engaging and coherent ways during their 90 minutes of math instruction.
