In 1901, the Martin School District No. 870 commissioned a two-room frame schoolhouse along Talbot Avenue, which was built by the firm of Pearson, Anderson & Bostrum for $325. Three years later, four more classrooms were built in front of the original building. The school, known as Beaver School, was renamed Elmwood School around October 1906, following the Elmwood area joined the City of Winnipeg, and the Martin School District was amalgamated into the Winnipeg School District No. 1. The Winnipeg School Board then concluded that its site was too close to the Canadian Pacific Railway main line, being “objectionable on account of the noise made by passing trains”. The former structure was located within the playground area of the present River Elm School site.

After some consideration, an adjacent site on Riverton Avenue was selected and a two-storey frame building was constructed on it around 1907. This building was replaced by the present two-storey, brick structure in 1930, designed by Winnipeg architect W. P. Over. In September 1958, the nearby Elmwood High School opened and high-school grade students went there. To avoid confusion, this school was renamed River Elm School that same year. The most recent single-level expansion was officially opened on 19 May 1977.
