I am a teacher at Lively elementary and I feel blessed! The students are actively involved in learning in all areas. Fine Arts dept. supports the homeroom goals and PE makes learning fun. We have many extra activities and programs for our students. One of my favorite was Trunk or Treat along with Literacy Night. We have holiday programs and even a talent show. The students at Lively love to learn.

I have been teaching at Lively for 6 years, and I love this school. The staff work together as a family to ensure that the needs of our students are met on a daily basis. While we are definitely academically focused, we also work hard to ensure that our students' social/emotional needs are also met. We work as a team to make sure our school is a safe and secure environment for our students to promote the love of learning. #WeAreLively

No place for that here and addresses respect to one another early.

Yes they adapt and search what makes each child successful.

Mr. Flynn is receptive to ideas and sets positive tone of rewarding positive choices in behavior and academics. Builds good relationships with students, families, and staff.

Yes! Each year counseling staff leads and sets tone for all students. 5th grade goes on special learning field trip that also includes character and respect to one another. Great teaching and setting tone for junior high.

The best! They equip and challenge positively! Build strong connections with students.

A small homework review completed each day affirms they retain the lesson given that day. Effective amount but not overwhelming.

One of our children have been at Lively for the last 13 years. We have had positive experience from education standpoint and relationally from leadership to staff. Teachers are there to invest and make a difference! They have shaped our children caring about the character and education piece. Our children are thriving and well prepared for transition to junior high. Current Principal knows how to encourage and inspire students to work hard! The teachers are effective and creative in their approaches to learning. We treasure our experience at Lively!

This is my son's first year at Lively and the whole family loves it. They make him feel welcomed and answer any questions we may have. The staff also make you feel welcome and help in anyway they can. The sons teacher have been great with him. He loves going to school everyday. I have seen a good change in my so since he started going to Lively.

I honestly haven't seen much bulling since coming to this school 3 years ago. Counselors are very aware and helpful if there are any concerns. And when mentioned to Teachers, they are right there, ready to help rectify the situation.

Posted: October 17, 2016

There is a wonderful staff at Lively dedicated to children with special needs. There is a deep respect and understanding that we are all different and yet, we are all the same. We are all learning and growing together.

Posted: October 17, 2016

There are many wonderful leaders at this school. And if you want to be one of those, I strongly suggest you join Lively PTA and be a part of your child's Educational future!

Lively offers many opportunities for your students to shine. Each child is taught to respect the needs and differences of those around them,

Posted: October 17, 2016

All the teachers my kids have had at Lively so far have been very LIVELY! Different personalities, but the packaging is the same. They ALL LOVE teachering. Each one has been creative, helpful, understanding, and such a blessing to my child.

Homework is something that builds depending on the grade your child is in. Kindergarten is only you reading to/with your child, and occasionally a worksheet. First Grade is the reading plus either a math or writing worksheet. Second Grade has either math or reading homework and sometimes a presentation or essay/poem to put together, and then... you see the pattern. (Friday there is usually no homework.)

I recommend Lively Elementary! I currently have 3 children attending Lively and they always look forward to school days. Two of my kids are in there 3rd year at this school. They have had wonderful counselors and the staff at Lively is GREAT! The Principals are very understanding AND helpful. Life happens here (like everywhere) Yet Overall, it is a wonderful place for children to learn, develop and blossom into the best they can be. My kids are happy attending this School.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SCHOOL!! My child's teacher was out for maternity leave and some other reason for most of the school year. At least 5 months. The kids had new substitute teachers almost every day! My child didn't learn anything. NEVER had any spelling test. NEVER had any homework. It was like my child was going to the babysitter's Monday - Friday. But even a sitter understands the importance of teaching and being creative with a first grader. No one responded to my calls or letters for 4 months. The assistant principle finally scheduled a meeting on the day I decided to withdraw my child. They misdiagnosed my child with a reading disorder. Then, 3 months later, while I was withdrawing & asking for all of my child records and they said "Oh! No one called you and notified you that there was a mistake on your child's records!" UGH!? Needless to say, We ran as far away from that school as we could. I felt like my child's class was totally forgotten about. No one cared what was going on in that class room or how a bunch of 1st graders may have to retake 1st grade again because of this school's neglect! My child left there only knowing what was taught to them in Kindergarten.

We've had great experiences with this school. Teachers are very caring and my 1st grader received loads of support when struggling with learning to read. The principal is super attentive and impresses me every time i meet with her.

This school has a wonderful full day Gifted/Talented program for grades 1-5. It's located in an area with lower income, but strives to make each child feel as though they are capable of success in life. They have made my children love to come to school everyday. There are monthly nights of learning (Math Night, etc.) and programs to help parents connect with their children.
