About Us

Battles Elementary School welcomes parents and community to the website. On this site you will find valuable information about our academic achievement, professional staff, curricular programs, instructional materials, safety procedures, classroom environment, and the condition of facilities in the Student  Accountability Report Card (SARC).


Battles Elementary School provides a warm, stimulating environment where students are actively involved in learning academics as well as positive values. Students receive a standards-based, challenging curriculum by a dedicated professional staff based on the individual needs of the students. Ongoing evaluation of student progress and achievement helps our educators refine the instructional program so students can achieve academic  proficiency. Intervention programs for struggling students are in place and progress is monitored at regular intervals.


Battles School staff members have made a commitment to provide the best educational program possible for Battles Elementary School's students, and welcome any suggestions or questions you may have. Together, through hard work, Battles students will be challenged to reach their maximum potential.
