Purvis Upper Elementary School was officially created in July of 2007. Prior to July 2007, grades three and four were part of a K-4 elementary school and grade five was a part of the middle school. Pulling all of 

these grades together was a challenge but proved worth while. We have been able to provide 

students with a transition from the lower elementary to the middle school. The teaming approach to teaching, allows teachers to specialize in one or more subject areas. This also helps to prepare 

students for the multiple transitions between classes when they go to Purvis Middle School.
