Welcome to Erickson Elementary School!


Erickson Elementary School is part of School District 8 (Kootenay Lake). We are located in the beautiful Creston Valley in south eastern British Columbia. You will find Creston at the geographic center of the Kootenays, on Highway 3, 28 km south of Kootenay Lake and 11 km north of the United States border.




The mission of Erickson Elementary School is to provide the skills and tools to empower students to dream, to care and to become confident, creative builders of their own futures.

A Message from Principal Nancy DeVuono:

Welcome to Erickson Elementary School!
On this webpage you will find information about our school and programs as well as pictures of our students, staff and parents. Erickson Elementary is a school of approximately 200 students, Kindergarten to Grade 7. It is nestled in a picturesque valley, surrounded by verdant mountains, just on the outskirts of Creston. Our school building is attractive and comfortable and our playground includes a soccer and baseball field, sliding hill, several adventure playgrounds, picnic tables and contemplative “nature spots”. Our students are active, creative and eager to learn. They love to be involved in sports, science, fine arts and special activities around the community. We serve the needs of a wide range of diverse learners and encourage all students to be compassionate and tolerant. We have an experienced and dedicated staff and an extremely supportive Parent Advisory Council. We also appreciate the support of the larger community through our Breakfast and Lunch programs. Please feel free to navigate through our website and drop in for a visit or contact me for more information.

We are all part of an important learning team and by working together we can ensure success for all!
