DESCRIPTION PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL BUILDING
Rousseau Elementary was named after C. Maude Rousseau, teacher & principal in Lincoln Public Schools. Rousseau opened on November 16, 1964 and was the first LPS elementary building to be air-conditioned. Additions to building were made in 1968, 1970, 1997 and 2011. A $4.9 million indoor air quality (IAQ) and renovation project was completed in January 2011. Rousseau Elementary School currently has a student population of 595 students which includes two preschool classes and our ELL program. Our instruction specialists on staff include art, physical education, media/technology, and music. Rousseau has strong parent/community involvement and an active PTO. Our focus on high expectations for academic achievement and behavior contributes to our students’ success. Reggie (a golden retriever) is our school’s Edu-pup. He is a wonderful addition to our school’s warm and welcoming environment. Our Mission is to LEARN at high levels, THINK interdependently, LEAD with character.
