Lone Pine Elementary School - Comprehensive education at its finest

The mission of Lone Pine Elementary is to create a safe and caring environment where children and staff work as a family to build a foundation of trust, achieve academic excellence, respect diversity, celebrate successes, and to promote a love for life-long learning.

Creative scheduling of classes gives teachers common planning time, and a firm commitment of staff development gives them opportunities for continued learning. Their carefully crafted Learning Development Activities foster collegial sharing of best practices. Guided by Gardner's seven intelligences and discipline based learnings (incorporating the State benchmarks), teachers design thematic units and integrate curriculum so that it is developmentally appropriate, open ended and relevant.
