Red Lake Elementary School (RLES) and the Early Childhood Center (ECC) is an indescribably amazing and important place! Within these two buildings, over 700 precious young lives spend a good portion of their day! With that in mind, it is very, very important that your child loves school! Truly, there is very little that is more essential than for a young person to have a rich and enjoyable school experience.

Every one of our students has wonderful hopes and dreams and deserves a school experience and environment where they feel the respect and appreciation and care of staff and fellow classmates while they learn and grow!
We look forward to a great year! The Red Lake Elementary School and Early Childhood Center continues to emphasize and implement Responsive Classroom (RC) principles and practices. RC provides a structure for us that promotes a school environment that is challenging and safe, and where kindness and respect for one another are paramount in importance.
Our theme for 2017-2018 at the RLES is “Heroes in Training!” We like this theme very much as we can emphasize all year that we are heroes to our classmates when we help them with their school work, when we are a buddy to them when they are down, when we help them to behave, when we are kind and thoughtful, and when we are not a bystander in a bully situation. The opportunities for us to be heroic every day are endless!
Our web site is constantly changing. We try to keep it current with pictures, newsletters and educational links. This can be a challenge as the school days can be so busy! However, we are trying!

Youth Enrichment

The theory of Best Practice in the educational system means that students are able to learn and enrich their horizons by hands on learning. Along with hands on learning we recognize that Native youth have certain learning styles. As each student has a learning style which may be different, acknowledging and honoring the child and youth enriches their perspective of the educational system. Collaborations with Targeted Services, Home School Liaisons, Comprehensive Health,Chemical Health, Indian Health Services,Oshkiimaajitadah and other programs gives Community Education the ability to provide services to students.
Enrichment projects are also Cultural based, Native American, primarily  Ojibwe. There have been several films made by students along with drum making, beading, craft designs. Youth have been encouraged in projects such as Targeted
Service to increase knowledge through hands on learning.
