Whether our scholars come from across the world or across the street, they all learn and grow at Sibley.
Sibley Elementary serves scholars in grades Pre-K through fifth. As a cultural center and neighborhood school, we believe in creating a learning environment that embraces the language, skills, and culture of each of our scholars. Our teaching practices help all scholars, whether English is their first language or not, develop strong academic and social skills. Some of the skills we emphasize in our classrooms include reading, writing, speaking, listening, mathematics, scientific and historical inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and collaboration. We also offer additional supports for our scholars who are learning academic English.
Sibley scholars have so much to look forward to during their time with us. Some of our favorite activities, events, and partnerships are as follows:
- fall kickoff
- spring resource fair
- annual spirit weeks
- mobile food pantries
- family nights
- community cleanups and other volunteer events
- book fairs and reading events
- Parent Teacher Community Council
- Kent School Services Network (KSSN)
- partnership events with Stocking Elementary and Westwood Middle School

Grand Rapids voters will weigh in on a sinking fund millage for Grand Rapids Public Schools in the August 4 election.
Beyond Free Tuition: The Grand Rapids Promise Zone Supports Students Every Step of the Way June 29, 2026
For many students and families, the idea of college can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Questions about cost, applications, and what comes next after high school can create uncertainty – even for students who are fully capable of succeeding. In Grand Rapids, one program is working to remove those barriers entirely.
The Grand Rapids Board of Education approved names for four schools as part of the Reimagine GRPS initiative, strengthening school identities, creating greater unity within school communities, and honoring the rich histories that have shaped generations of scholars.
