About Us

Lanier Elementary is a collaborative pre-kindergarten through fifth grade learning community that prepares each child to make positive and meaningful contributions to our society, our city and our world. 

Our mission is to create a safe and comfortable environment where all students will develop 
cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically to their best individual potential through differentiated instruction and engaging hands-on learning experiences. 

Community matters at Lanier Elementary School. We are proud of our rich tradition of academic and personal excellence and strive to put our very best efforts into all that we do. Our students foster community spirit through programs like our Student Council which organizes programs like our Student Council which organizes all-school civic engagement projects, our Safety Patrol which pairs our youngest learners with our oldest learners to ensure safe drop-off and dismissal, and all-school celebrations like our annual Vocabulary Day Parade and Reading Counts awards. Our parents carry that community focus forward by creating opportunities for students and families to stay engaged outside of the school day, including our monthly Skate Nights and annual cooking competitions!
