Nichols Elementary School

Nichols is a Kindergarten through 6th grade elementary school.  Nichols Elementary School is committed to supporting our district's mission and vision of supporting the growth of the whole student through a challenging and inspiring education within a safe and inclusive environment.  Each and every Nichols Student thrives in further education, career, and workplace opportunities, and life as a-- communicator, collaborator, lifelong learner, collaborative and engaged community member, and solution-driven problem solver.

Nichols staff, families, and community members will work together as a whole school community to improve student learning.  We, as a team, will create a safe and organized environment where students and staff, along with parents and guardians, have the belief that ALL children can learn and grow.  We are a community of life-long learners and leaders with a growth mindset. Our school will foster individual differences and teach understanding with high expectations for all. We will strive to think critically and creatively to encourage good decision-making strategies and to promote a sense of teamwork and cooperation. Our students will be empowered to reach their potential, as well as become respectful and responsible citizen leaders for the future

We Believe

1. All children can learn given appropriate time, instruction, and access to resources.
2. Students learning, attendance, and behavior improve when they actively engage in meaningful work.
3. Education is a shared responsibility.  It is a partnership of home, school, and community.
4. High standards and expectations must be maintained through a system of accountability for all students, staff, and schools.
5. The best attitude is one that has high energy and is reflective, supportive, optimistic, and willing to learn.
