Evans Elementary is a public elementary school in Chilliwack, British Columbia part of School District 33 Chilliwack.

Evans Elementary School serves Grade K - 6 students and families in the residential Sardis suburb of Chilliwack, British Columbia.

Evans Elementary is a family-oriented school, and strives to make the most of its small school population to enhance the feeling of family throughout all aspects of the school's culture.

Evans Elementary School is beginning its fourth decade of service to the children of Sardis. For the majority of this period Evans has been a Primary School educating students from Kindergarten through Grade Three. Evans School was originally built in 1958 as a three room schoolhouse. During this time the school underwent considerable growth gradually expanding by adding five portables in the early nineties.

In 1999 a major development occurred that would positively affect Evans School for many years. The Ministry of Education finally granted approval for the construction of a new Evans Elementary School. In September, 2000, after a year of being housed in a wing of a neighbouring elementary school, students entered their new school for the first time. The new school building can enroll up to 275 students, and has a full-size gymnasium, a spacious library and a computer lab.

Parents are extremely supportive of the school and take pride in working with administration and staff to ensure that their children are part of a vibrant learning environment. Moreover, a dedicated and caring staff of teachers, teacher assistants, clerical and custodial personnel work as a team in offering students a high quality of education in the important dimensions of academics and overall personal development.

With both a relatively new school building and expert personnel, Evans Elementary continues in an exciting phase of defining its school culture. The years ahead offer great potential for this school as it continues to strive to offer the best possible learning environment for its students.
