Who We Are
High expectations.
High achievement for all.
No excuses.
Welcome to Centerview Elementary School in Blaine! We are one of three elementary schools serving Spring Lake Park Schools' students in grades preK-4.
Newly Constructed Facility
Centerview Elementary School is the district’s newest school, opening in September 2018, serving students in preK-4.
Innovative and Personalized Learning
Each student at Centerview Elementary School is known by name, strength, interest and need, leading to personalized student work and learning experiences.
Focus on Literacy
All elementary students in Spring Lake Park Schools spend 120 minutes each day on reading instruction with 60 minutes in smaller groups focused on specific student needs.
STEM and Real-world Learning
We continue to expand our STEM learning for each student in Spring Lake Park Schools. We are redesigning traditional learning experiences and transforming our classrooms to help our students become creators, designers, inventors, thinkers and leaders.
Career and College Readiness
We are collectively committed to designing engaging learning experiences that lead to each student earning 12 college credits by the end of 12th grade.
Low Class Sizes
One of our top priorities is to maintain low class sizes. Our class sizes at elementary grade levels are among the lowest in the metro area and among neighboring districts.
Panther Pride
Amazing things are happening every day at Spring Lake Park Schools. Learn more about our SLP stories and voices and what makes us #SLPPPantherProud.

CV, teacher
In SLP, we use Learner Profiles to help personalize learning. We want students to take ownership of their learning and that starts with self-reflection - figuring out where they are, what their strengths are and what they need to be successful.

No year is the same, no class is the same, no lesson is the same and certainly no student is the same. Everyday, plans change based on what I learned the previous day about my students.
