About
Our team of over 73 employees serve 850 students in grades TK-5.
At Trace Elementary, parents and staff work together to ensure that each student receives a rigorous and comprehensive education in a safe, caring environment. All students have the opportunity to think critically, work both independently and collaboratively, take risks, and be creative. Students are at the core of all decisions and our team is committed to helping students become lifelong learners and preparing them to be the thinkers, leaders, and creators of tomorrow.
Families are encouraged to learn about parent participation opportunities through school committees and school connected organizations. If you want to visit Trace Elementary, please review our visitor guidelines.
Student Orientation
Our students will receive their student orientation and a campus tour on their first week of school. This orientation familiarizes new students with the school's facilities, policies, and
procedures. If your student is new to our campus during the school year, your classroom teacher will engage classroom peers to support our new student to ensure that your student feels welcomed into our school community.
Trace History Book
Trace neighbors and alumni James R. Hubert and E. Leonard Johnson have written a book of Trace history.
