West Elementary is a supportive and student-centered learning community where every child is encouraged to grow, learn, and succeed. As part of Batesville School District and Pioneer Nation, we are committed to providing a safe, engaging environment that supports both academic excellence and personal development.

At West Elementary, we focus on building strong foundations for learning while nurturing curiosity, confidence, and character. Our dedicated teachers and staff work collaboratively to deliver high-quality instruction and meaningful learning experiences that meet the needs of every student. Through positive relationships and purposeful teaching, we strive to help students develop a love of learning that lasts beyond the classroom.

We believe that student success is strengthened through strong partnerships with families and the community. Open communication and collaboration are central to our school culture, and we value the role families play in supporting student learning and growth.

West Elementary is proud of its caring school environment and the opportunities we provide for students to learn, explore, and achieve. We are honored to serve our students and families and look forward to continuing to grow together.

Sincerely,
James Housdan
