Welcome to Spearfish School District and Mountain View Elementary and West Elementary School

Our schools serve approximately 500 students in grades K-2. Located at separate sites, our schools Mountain View and West Elementary serves children from grades PreK-2nd grade. Mountain View Elementary serves our preschool programming as well as Kindergarten. West Elementary serves grades 1-2. Our goal is to educate the whole child using a broad curriculum including exploratory classes including library, art, music, physical education, and social skill development.

Our staff is highly qualified and work tirelessly to meet the needs of all children. We welcome you to stop by the schools to visit. Parent engagement is a priority of our schools, and we develop multiple opportunities for our stakeholders to be active members of the educational process. Community in the Classroom, Read-Across South Dakota, Flashlight Friday Reading events, parent-teacher conferences, student-led learning conferences, music programs and art shows, Family Coding Night, and a variety of other events occur throughout the year.
