\u5439\u7530\u5e02\u7acb\u5c71\u7530\u7b2c\u4e94\u5c0f\u5b66\u6821 is a public elementary school in Suita, Osaka. It was established on April 1 1986. The school was created to alleviate overcrowding at Suita Municipal Yamadadai Third Elementary School.
Let’s delve into the history. The area’s children once attended Yamadadai Third Elementary School. As residential development increased in the 1980s, that school became overcrowded. To address this, part of Yamadadai Third Elementary School’s district was separated. Thus, Suita’s 37th public elementary school, \u5439\u7530\u5e02\u7acb\u5c71\u7530\u7b2c\u4e94\u5c0f\u5b66\u6821, was born in 1986.

On September 28 1989 the Osaka Prefectural Police recognized it for excellence in traffic safety. In 1993 the Suita City Board of Education designated it a research school for science and life studies. This designation lasted until 1994. In 2003 the Board of Education again recognized the school. This time, it was for information education research. This lasted until 2004.
The school’s location is unique. It is outside the school district. The address is 1-6-1 Yamadanishi, Suita City, Osaka.
The school’s end is near. In March 2025, \u5439\u7530\u5e02\u7acb\u5c71\u7530\u7b2c\u4e94\u5c0f\u5b66\u6821 will close. It will then merge with Suita Municipal Yamadadai Third Elementary School. The decision came after a resolution by the Suita City Council. Starting in April 2025, the new school year will begin. It will operate as Yamadadai Third Elementary School.
What about the students? After graduation, students typically attend Suita Municipal Yamadadai Junior High School. From the 2025 school year onwards, graduates will attend Suita Municipal Nishiyamada Junior High School. However, current residents of the \u5439\u7530\u5e02\u7acb\u5c71\u7530\u7b2c\u4e94\u5c0f\u5b66\u6821 district have a choice. They can choose between Nishiyamada Junior High School or Yamadadai Junior High School.
The merger aims to improve class changes. It also seeks to resolve interpersonal relationships. It may help redistribute roles and assessments among children.
As we stand here, we acknowledge the history of \u5439\u7530\u5e02\u7acb\u5c71\u7530\u7b2c\u4e94\u5c0f\u5b66\u6821. The school served its community. Though closing, its legacy will live on.
