Welcome to Larsen Elementary
Spotting Excellence in Every Student
Here is information on the Nebo Chess Tournament for Elementary, Jr. High and High school aged students. It is being held February 24th at Cherry Creek Elementary. All needed information is on the flyer.
Nebo School District is always trying to improve communication and responsiveness to our stakeholders. To that end, we invite students, parents and teachers to give feedback on teachers and administrators in Nebo District schools. A link to the Nebo Stakeholder Survey 2017-2018 will be found on the Nebo home page at www.nebo.edu beginning Wednesday, February 7 and remaining open until Wednesday, February 21, 2018, where Nebo District stakeholders will be able to share their thoughts and experiences. (Parents and employees will be emailed a link to help them gain access, while students will be shown the link in their computer labs.)
The purpose of the Nebo Stakeholder Survey is to help us improve instruction and to keep our finger on the pulse of our patrons. For feedback to be most useful, we suggest being polite even when sharing intensely positive or negative feelings, sharing specific experiences that illustrate your ratings, and using appropriate language in all circumstances.
Thank you for your helpful feedback.

It is no suprise to anyone how amazing Mrs. Eckhardt is. She is a dedicated teacher, an awesome co-worker and the greatest mother to her 4 daughters. Mrs. Eckhardt received the Crystal Apple Award for Larsen Elementary today. This award is given for all of her hard work and many hours spent on helping students learn and succeed. Congratulations Mrs Eckhardt! You are one in a million.
Just a reminder that February 13th are Spring Pictures. Packets were sent home but we do have extras in the office. Students need to have their money with them or have paid online. Call the office if you have any other questions.
Larsen 4th graders have been studying about dinosaurs. They have learned about where they lived, what kind of habitat, what they ate and all sorts of other stuff. They even made these salt dough dino-ramas. Great job 4th graders. You are "Dino"mite!
Mrs. Gleaves 2nd grade class spread some kindness to our wonderful lunch lady Mrs. Weight. They brought her flower, her favorite drink and made a card for her. Mrs. Gleave is always doing nice things for the faculty and students here at Larsen and it brightens everyone's day. Thank you Mrs. Gleave for spreading kindness in our school and teaching kids how to be good friends.
Just a reminder of the Larsen Elementary Science Fair Feb. 9th for 5th and 6th graders. Parents are welcome to come and view the projects between 12:45- 2:30 PM. Hope to see you there!
