Pelican is in its 5th year AVID and is an AVID Elementary Showcase School.  AVID promotes college and career readiness by promoting a growth mindset and using research-based, best practice instructional strategies to help students learn.  Pelican promotes technology through the use of student Chromebooks, iPads, a classroom computer lab and interactive Promethean whiteboards.  Pelican uses Benchmark Advanced for ELA and Bridges Math for core curriculum.  In Oregon, we teach the Common Core State Standards.

Pelican is a Blue Zones Project Approved School, striving to promote healthier living through the motto, "Eat Better, Move More". A variety of physical fitness programs are held before, during, and after the school day: including walk to school days, recess/P.E., activity-a-thon fundraiser, health and nutrition education.

Pelican Boosters support total school success through active parent participation in and out of the classrooms. Parents and volunteers are encouraged to get involved at Pelican Elementary!
