Bella Vista Elementary, located five miles from Big Cottonwood Canyon in the Salt Lake Valley, opened in 1965, and was remodeled in 2007. The school is on a traditional calendar and serves approximately 560 students from kindergarten to sixth grade. The students live within walking distance or are bussed from the area north of Fort Union Blvd. between 9th and 13th East and come from middle to upper middle-income homes. The school enjoys support from an active community that is interested in education. Our licensed staff provides an outstanding education for the Bella Vista community. Nine teachers hold masters degrees, twelve have ESL endorsements, and two have gifted and talented endorsements. Our staff is committed to the district’s literacy and math framework, and seeks to promote learning through integrated technology opportunities. Parents demonstrate their active support through PTA membership and service at the school. Volunteers organize and teach, “Meet the Masters” (visual art), Music, and "Meet the Authors".
