Welcome to Burns Valley School!

Dear Students, Staff and Parents:

Welcome to Burns Valley School. My goal for Burns Valley School is to promote literacy and math skills for all students. We are working to create a positive environment where all students can grow and succeed in their educational journey.

The most valuable part of education is the people; the teachers and support staff that put their time, energy, and hearts into seeing students grow and become successful and happy adults.

Our school’s mission statement: “The goal of Burns Valley School is to have a safe friendly atmosphere where students are actively engaged in lessons. We promote life-long learning and help students develop skills for success. Burns Valley School celebrates student accomplishments and sets specific goals to nurture growth. Students, staff, families, and community members contribute to the progress and growth of Burns Valley School. Burns Valley uses Common Core State Standard (CCSS) board-approved curriculum with a focus on Common Core State Standards. Active instruction with researched-based teaching strategies is an essential component in the academic growth of Burns Valley. We emphasize our four rules: Be safe, be respectful, be responsible and be kind.”

My name is Lauren Milano, and I am honored to serve as the principal of Burns Valley Elementary School. As a lifelong resident of Lake County and a proud graduate of Lower Lake High School, this community is deeply rooted in who I am. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of working in education in various capacities—starting as a paraprofessional, then moving on to teach 4th and 6th grades, and most recently, serving as an assistant principal for three years.

Throughout my journey, one thing has remained constant: my passion for working with students and fostering a lifelong love of learning. I believe that education is the cornerstone of a thriving community, and I am committed to ensuring that every child at Burns Valley receives the support and encouragement they need to succeed.

I look forward to working with our dedicated staff, parents, and, most importantly, our amazing students to make this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy. Together, we can build a brighter future for our children and our community.
