Who We are Container
WHO WE ARE
Valhalla Elementary, home of the Voyagers, is located in Auburn’s Star Lake neighborhood and serves scholars in grades K-5. Our mission is that in an environment of high expectations, high support, and no excuses, the staff of Valhalla Elementary will continually learn, lead, utilize data, and collaborate to ensure our scholars have a voice, a dream, and a bright future. We strive to be SAFE, KIND AND PRODUCTIVE and help students be successful with this by explicitly teaching behavior expectations for all areas in the school, including within our classrooms, and by rewarding students demonstrating positive behavior choices with Valhalla Bucket tickets. Scholars also benefit from an array of school activities and clubs to enhance their learning.
