Our School
Ocean Lakes Elementary School opens the door to all learners by providing a nurturing environment that promotes 21st century skills. We accomplish this by engaging and being responsive to all students’ needs. In doing so, we create opportunities for teachers, parents, and community partners to collaborate and support achievement for all our students.
Ocean Lakes Elementary School first opened its doors to the community in 1989 under the leadership of principal Mike Storm. We serve approximately 600 students from kindergarten through fifth grade and have a committed faculty that helps students achieve their very best, in partnership with involved parents and active community business leaders. Our community partners enhance the educational program by providing support where needed, such as volunteering time and services. Special programs at Ocean Lakes Elementary School include: after school tutoring, gifted and talented services, and special education programs. An on-site after school recreation program is provided by the Virginia Beach Youth-Based Activity Program administered by the Virginia Beach Department of Parks and Recreation. Just a few of the many extra-curricular activities offered at Ocean Lakes Elementary School include STEM Robotics, STEM Maker Expo (3D Printing), Waverider Morning News Team, Safety Patrols, Girls on the Run, and SCA.
