Keeseville Elementary School

Keeseville Elementary School is one of two pre-kindergarten through sixth grade elementary schools in the AuSable Valley Central School District. This beautiful building was built in 1958 and has been a focal point for the Keeseville community ever since that first day when its doors opened.

Through our partnerships with NEU and CFES, we use a well-defined process to identify and create a culture of universal achievement, collaboration, standards alignment, assessment, data analysis and interventions. Students are exposed to powerful college symbolism. Each of our classrooms has adopted a college, displaying college banners and flags, and all KES students will learn about college and how to prepare for college. At KES, we never tell students they must go to college, however, we strongly believe it is our job to prepare every student so if he/she decides to go to college someday, they are ready for that next step.
