Description: Open since August 2004, Middle Fork Elementary School strives to be a model school in which:
Students, parents, teachers, staff and the community are valued as unified partners;
Students celebrate and value diversity in race, gender, ethnicity, age, language, talents and abilities;
Students participate in authentic learning experiences that are grounded in solid research-based instruction; and
Students are given the flexibility to learn and develop into kind, caring, and responsible citizens in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our vision begins and ends with students, because at Middle Fork Elementary School, students will always come first.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. 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.
