Mission Statement
At Chinook Elementary, our mission is to have students, parents,
and staff cooperate to provide a positive learning environment in
which all individuals are treated with respect and are responsible
for personal and academic growth.
Location and Students
Chinook Elementary is located southeast of the city of Auburn with
students attending from the Enumclaw plateau, Muckleshoot Reservation,
Forest Villa, and the Auburn View Heights area of Forest Ridge.
Chinook has a wide range of socio-economic levels with its attendance
area comprised of apartments, duplexes, and single-family dwellings.
Approximately 79% of those students who started the 1998-99 school
year at Chinook finished there also, reflecting a stable student
population.
Chinook Elementary has the opportunity to offer a Native American
Achievement Center to Native American students and as part of the
multicultural curriculum, all fourth grade students have the opportunity
to study Indian history. The curriculum and program have been used
as a program model for other school districts.
