Park Elementary is one of four elementary schools in the Tahoma
School District of Western Washington. We are located in Maple
Valley, Washington, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade
Mountain range with Mt. Rainer looming beautifully in the
background.

for all parents, students, and staff at Glacier Park
Elementary. With the active participation of everyone in the
community we can collectively make a real difference in the
education of our children. Explore our site and make a decision
today to
become actively involved. |
