Terrace Heights Elementary School

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We are so excited you are part of our Black Bear community! Our staff is looking forward to seeing all the students again, and welcoming our new students.

This year we will continue with our Be Here, Be You, Belong message, as well as a focus on attendance. Working hard to be at school every day is beneficial to students, and contributes greatly to their success. We are aware that children do experience illness, so please keep students home if they are "big" sick. We will continue to encourage students to attend school regularly, and support in any way we can. ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

Eating breakfast every morning is important for students, and gives them energy to focus on learning in the classroom. Breakfast is available to all students before school, and we encourage our students to eat breakfast every day (whether at home or at school). Our staff is excited to see students in the cafeteria each morning, greeting them, and helping them to have a great start to their day.

We are committed to supporting the students of Terrace Heights Elementary, and building partnerships with the families of our students. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our school office with any questions or concerns.

Looking forward to continuing our work together for the remainder of the school year!

THE Secure and Teach

This morning, Terrace Heights Elementary briefly went into a Secure & Teach due to an external safety concern. During this time, all entry to the building was closed.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office responded, investigated the situation, and the Secure & Teach was lifted shortly thereafter.

For more information about our Secure & Teach procedures, please visit: Secure & Teach Information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Welcome New EVE Assistant Principal

Please help us welcome Mr. Aaron Schilperoort as the new Assistant Principal of East Valley Elementary!

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Studies Education and a master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Corban University, and later earned his administrative credentials from Concordia University Chicago.

His teaching journey has taken him across the globe, including three years at an International Baccalaureate school in Indonesia, before returning to Oregon, where he taught in a rural district outside Salem. Most recently, he served as Assistant Principal at Union Gap School for seven years.

Aaron and his wife recently celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and are proud parents of three daughters.

He shared, “I’m looking forward to working and partnering with Principal Bowman to provide visible, collaborative support and leadership for the EVE staff, students, and greater East Valley community.”
