Dear Loves Park Panther Families and Students,

As the principal of Loves Park Elementary School, I would like to be the first to welcome you to our wonderful school.  We are excited to have you join our school community and experience all that it means to be a Loves Park Panther.

Our mission at Loves Park Elementary School is to foster a safe and equitable environment that promotes academic and social/emotional growth for all children.  Our vision is for all students to succeed academically, socially, emotionally and behaviorally.  In order to live up to our mission and vision, we set very high standards for learning and behavior.  We believe that every student has unlimited potential, and it is our goal to help meet the needs of all of our students.  

At Loves Park, we have amazing teachers who spend hours planning and creating classroom activities to engage students in learning.  Our teachers utilize research based best practices and analyze academic data to determine current skill levels and to set goals for growth and improvement.  We also offer exciting after school activities. 

We hope that you find our website helpful (Loves Park Elementary School).   Here you can find our most recent newsletter as well as important information on upcoming events.  Feel free to follow us on Facebook as well. 

I am honored to be the principal here at Loves Park!  It is a privilege to be a part of a community where parents and staff members support one another in order to help our children strive for academic excellence.  Please watch for information in the future regarding our PTO meetings and other exciting activities for families.  Feel free to reach out to me any time at or by calling me at (815) 654-4501 or emailing me at  michael.valentine@harlem122.org.
