Welcome to Startzville Elementary

Greetings Startzville Families,
We are excited to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year! We have assembled a phenomenal staff to help support our students and achieve success. Startzville Elementary School is an inviting campus where children reach goals and continue to grow towards success. 
Our staff is dedicated to the mission of our campus and have committed to working to meet the needs of our students. Community and family support have been crucial to the success of our campus, and we look forward to continuing to grow in a partnership that puts students first. We know that as the new school year approaches, there is always anticipation and excitement for our staff as well as for the students. We are eager to welcome back our returning students and to greet those students who will be joining our STZES Family for the first time. At STZES, we believe in doing what is best for kids and providing experiences that will not just help them grow academically but also socially and emotionally. It is our privilege to be able to serve this wonderful community and work with our students each day. 
Family engagement along with open communication between school and home is important to the success of our educational program. I encourage you to take an active role in our school community to help us continue to reach our goals and support out students. Parents play a huge role in the success of our campus, and we thank you for all the work you do in supporting our campus community. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you may have, and we look forward to a wonderful 2023-2024 school year.
Together we will Thrive in the coming year! The Adventure STARTZ Here!
