Welcome to Longfellow Elementary
                              School Home of the Cougars!

Longfellow is one of the Boise School District's oldest schools, with a rich history of over 100 years of academic excellence. At Longfellow, we are committed to providing a warm and positive learning environment where students and staff uphold the Boise District's values of respect, dignity, honesty, responsibility, and teamwork. It is our intention to ensure that each school year will be a rewarding educational adventure for every child. All our students are individual with unique abilities and needs. At Longfellow, we do everything possible to meet the academic, physical, emotional, and social needs of each of our "little cougars".

We have an incredible faculty and staff at Longfellow. It is our goal to meet the needs of our students in a nurturing setting which challenges our students to risk, learn, and grow. Each child will be treated with respect and dignity and our talented staff will make very effort to ensure a successful school experience for your child. At Longfellow, we make every effort to provide the quality of education you desire for your child.

At Longfellow we believe it takes the "entire village" to educate our children and ask for your involvement in your child's education. Only with a cooperative effort on the part of students,parents, school personnel, and our community, will we reach our goal of providing the best education possible for our children. We encourage you to seize every opportunity to become involved in your child's education and be a part of the Longfellow family. Our school has a high level of parent and community support and we'd love to have you join in. We invite you to visit, to volunteer and to participate in school events. A successful school depends on everyone!
