Who We Are
Midvale Elementary School is the first new building that was completed after the creation of the Canyons School District. Our beautiful school building features geographical themes that can be found in the state of Utah such and rivers, canyons, mountain peaks, and State & National Parks. We are home to roughly 750 students, and have 38 teachers and many crucial staff on our team. We have a strong Spanish Dual Immersion program at our school.
Midvale Elementary was recognized as a Utah School of Excellence for 2020. We have made a great deal of improvement, and we know that we can do more. We are looking to the future and working to make our school the best that it can possibly be. Our focus on academics, social skills, and preparation for middle school has changed our school culture to one of learning, growth, and development for our teachers and students. As a Community School, we work together with various public and private partners to provide coordinated academic, social, mental, physical, and vocational supports for students, families, and the community. Our Midvale families are critical partners in supporting students to achieve growth!
Thanks for your support in helping us become the best Mustangs we can be!
