About Us
New York Elementary School
Welcome to New York Elementary!
We are a small school located in the heart of the amazing East Lawrence Neighborhood of Lawrence, Kansas. Named after the iconic New York Street, on which our school has stood since 1869, we proudly champion our community and carry on its rich history. Our partnership with the surrounding community and business partners provides invaluable experiences for our scholars. At New York, we work diligently to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in which to learn.
As a 2012 Governor’s Award winning school, we take pride in our academic accomplishments. Children learn to persevere when things get challenging because they know a classmate or teacher is ready to provide support to them. We help each child believe that they are able to learn and, as a community, support each other in that learning.
Our Expectations
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be a Learner
These three expectations embody what it means to be a New York Knight. Each and every day we support our scholars as they strive to meet these expectations.
Come visit us and see all the great things we are doing. Everyone is welcome at New York!
Warmly,
Brian Workman
Principal
