Welcome to Chango Elementary School
Located in the northern part of the district, Chango Elementary School is one of four off-campus schools. It opened in 1974.
Mission:
The Chango Community will provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes and celebrates the development of our student’s abilities, character, and creativity.
Chango students provided suggestions for a school slogan through Chango’s Student Council. The council developed five possible slogans to match the mission statement. Then there was a school wide vote. The winning slogan (or motto) is:
“Learning + Fun = Chango“
