This Winnipeg school was designed in 1972 by Ward Macdonald Cockburn McLeod McFeetors for the River East School Division (RESD) with projects construction overseen by the Winnipeg Construction Company. By the time construction began in 1973, the working name of Valley Gardens Elementary School was replaced with Bertrun E. Glavin School, named to commemorate Bertrun Elwood “Bert” Glavin, a recently-deceased RESD trustee and Chairman. The school opened to students on 10 September 1973 and was opened officially on 23 May 1974.
In 2002, the school became part of the River East Transcona School Division.
