Description: It is the mission of Armorel Elementary to encourage each child to reach his/her fullest potential in literacy and mathematics. Students will develop mastery of skills in the curriculum areas through technology and classroom instructions. The responsibility for education will be shared by parents, students and the school district.

We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
