Welcome to Haviland Elementary

School Overview

Haviland Elementary School is a Junior Kindergarten through 5th grade building which combines a strong academic program and extra-curricular activities. The Michigan Department of Education has designated Haviland Elementary as a Michigan Blue Ribbon Exemplary School which is the most prestigious education award in the state. The Blue Ribbon distinguishes Haviland Elementary for their excellence in leadership, teaching, curriculum, student achievement, parent involvement, and community support.

Haviland Elementary School is proud to announce, with the sponsorship of the Haviland PTA, our partnership with the Positivity Project.  The P2 mission is to empower America’s youth to build positive relationships and become their best selves.  This school year is going to look different and building a positive culture will be more important than ever.   Positive relationships are the cornerstone of health, happiness, resilience, and jobs of the future.  By consistently teaching our students about the character strengths that everyone possesses, will they see people based on the content of their character.   This ability will enhance their self-awareness, self-confidence, understanding and appreciation of others, and interpersonal relationships which will positively influence our students individually and collectively.

This philosophy aligns nicely with our Haviland Shared Mission:

At Haviland, we will encourage positive, kind, and respectful relationships in our community.  We will empower our students to grow socially, emotionally and to value learning, so they can be their best selves in a diverse world.

Let it begin with us!
