 ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Olive Loss Elementary is one of Appoquinimink's newest schools. Opened in Fall 2002, it is named for Delaware’s first female Superintendent, who served with distinction in this district for more than 30 years. Our state of the art facility serves the growing population of Bear, Delaware, with classes for children in grades 1–5.
The school offers an exciting learning environment where the focus is on the mastery of basic academic and thinking skills, hands-on learning, enrichment activities and remedial assistance (wherever needed). Technology education is embedded into all that we do, as is a commitment to foster positive behavioral skills and provide educational experiences that will help our students to become confident, successful learners.
In addition to its classroom teachers, Olive Loss Elementary has a principal; art, music and physical education teachers; a librarian; counselor; nurse and psychologist.
We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Olive Loss “family” or a prospective homeowner, Olive Loss Elementary welcomes you!
