About

Glenview Elementary is a TK–5 public school enrolling about 450 students within the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) of California. At Glenview, we pride ourselves on our diverse families, parent involvement, administrative leadership, and outstanding teachers and support staff. We foster a whole-learning focus, and our robust events calendar is filled with community-building opportunities for the entire family.

In partnership with our families, our mission is to provide children with educational opportunities that meet them at their points of need, enable them to make academic gains, and help them develop into healthy adolescents. Students will become creative critical thinkers who have the academic and social-emotional skills to be caring community members and compassionate global citizens.

We continuously strive to meet our mission by:

• Ensuring equitable access to educational programs like music, art, technology, and PE to foster academic achievement, a lifelong love for learning, and a passion for cross-curricular expression
• Promoting cross-cultural understanding, interaction, and appreciation by building empathy for all and learning about the current and historical experiences of others
• Offering professional development opportunities that support research-based instructional practices and promote the growth of our instructional and support staff
• Explicitly teaching and supporting children in developing social-emotional skills through the use of Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS), Caring School Communities curriculum, and the Toolbox Project
