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
- community mentoring
- peer tutoring
We have incorporated distance learning for years and are poised to be a leader in the district as a blended model of new technologies and old practices, giving our students the best of both worlds. Our 1-to-1 student technology device approach ensures that every student has the opportunity to learn inside and outside the classroom.

Art created by Grand Rapids Public School scholars will be on display for two weeks during the biggest student art show in Michigan.
Mulick Park Elementary transformed Friday into the heart of “Move More Month” with the American Heart Association of West Michigan.
The community is invited to attend an event to learn more about plans for Sigsbee School, one of the first renovation projects funded by the $305 million bond passed by voters in November.
