Welcome to the Krieger Elementary School web page.
 
We are the Krieger Coyotes and we are very proud of our school.
 
Krieger Elementary School is a K-Grade 5 school with approximately 600 students and 70 staff members. Krieger School first opened its doors to children in 1929 and had an expansion in 2004. The Krieger staff is committed to teaching all children and providing them with additional educational experiences. Krieger has a very active PTA organization that sponsors a number of activities for the children and their families.  Some of the activities includet:  book fairs, Spirit Week and Spirit clothing, school pictures, Family Fun Nights and Movie Nights. The Krieger PTA welcomes parent involvement and always welcomes new members.
 

Mission
 
The Krieger Elementary School staff believes that every child should be treated with respect and be given the opportunity to grow in knowledge and self-esteem through quality education. Our students can achieve these goals by being encouraged to do their best and to take pride in work well done. The key to our success will be a partnership among parents, students and staff – a partnership based on respect, support and involvement.
 
Beliefs
 We believe education is a shared responsibility.
 Everyone deserves an environment that promotes learning and respect.
 We must recognize everyone’s uniqueness.
 Shared decisions equal shared responsibility.
 Choices have lifelong impact.
