Welcome to Donnelly Elementary!

Donnelly Elementary School is a special place. Nestled in the heart of Valley County, Donnelly Elementary serves approximately 140 students, k through 5.  We pride ourselves on small class sizes, individual attention and a family like atmosphere. 

We have an exceptionally committed and professional staff at Donnelly Elementary School. A wide variety of programs are offered for our children.  A school-wide reading program provides differentiated instruction for students in grades K – 5. The reading team includes: classroom teachers, a reading specialist and trained para-professionals. We also have scheduled intervention times to help students be challenged in Math and Language Arts.  We build strong incentives for our children and believe in a "Work hard, Play hard" atmosphere.  We have monthly reading parties which are a must see for parents and community members.   We invite you to experience Donnelly Elementary School, we know you'll love it!

Please call the school at 208.325.4433 to volunteer to help at our school, or if you would like to help with our Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO).
