Welcome to Beattie Elementary

Beattie School is named after Merle Beattie, who was the director of Elementary Education in Lincoln Public Schools from 1923-1951.  Beattie School was established in 1953 when 193 students entered the new elementary school.  Since that time, there have been three additions resulting in a building with 55,025 square feet sitting on 6.25 acres of land.  Currently, we are home to more than 400 Bobcats!

Our mission at Beattie School is “TLC – Teaching, Learning, and Caring for All”.  These are words that we strive to put into action each and every day.  Every child deserves to be challenged to meet or exceed district and state expectations, and to meet their own individual academic potential.  Our committed staff meets regularly in Professional Learning Community meetings to improve instructional strategies and implementations, which will provide success for all learners.   Specific attention is given to the diversity, talents and strengths of our Beattie community as we plan for success.

Building a strong Beattie community with the common goal of developing intelligent, hard working, well-rounded citizens has been a strong focus building-wide this year.  Through common language and practices the students remember each day to be safe, respectful, responsible, and to be their best.  By following these simple guidelines, learning can be most effective.

Thank you for visiting our website.  As you navigate through, you will learn more about our students, staff, parents, and programs.  Our beautiful garden has become a part of life at Beattie and provides unique experiences for our students.

Warmest Regards,
Kathleen Dering
