Welcome to Ida Nason Aronica Elementary School
Ida Nason Aronica Elementary is a caring, student-centered K–5 school dedicated to helping every child learn, grow, and thrive. We believe students do their best when they feel safe, supported, and connected to their school community.
At Ida Nason, learning is hands-on, engaging, and rooted in strong relationships. Our staff partners closely with families to meet students where they are, nurture their strengths, and build confidence as learners. We are committed to fostering curiosity, encouraging creativity, and helping students develop the skills they need for success in school and beyond.
Thank you for being part of the Ida Nason Aronica community. We are proud to support our students as they become kind classmates, critical thinkers, and future-ready leaders.
