Elementary TK-5
Manzanita Community School is a small elementary school
in the Fruitvale Neighborhood. We have 330 students and
16 classroom teachers. Our school is a very diverse school
with many home languages being spoken. We are a Balanced
Literacy School, which means reading and writing are taught
using a workshop model. In reading our students are given
books to read at their reading level during the reading block,
while teachers meet with students one-on-one or in small
groups. Students who are not reading on grade level will
be pulled i n small groups by their teacher through out the
week and given more support. We also offer intervention
to our lowest readers with our Literacy Coach two or more
days a week. We are focused on preparing our students
for the rigorous expectations of the common core and the
SBAC (the end of year test that replaces the CSTs) and are
focused on providing students with classwork that offers
more experiences applying what they have learned in their
own words. Our school staff and teaching staff are stable
and our teachers work together and collaborate to best
support our students needs. Students receive 60 minutes of
PE each week, 30-60 minutes (depending on grade level) in
our Computer Lab (working on reading skills, typing practice,
math review, and doing research), 30 minutes of library time,
and 30 minutes of classroom game time with our Playworks
Coach. Our School Community is a caring one focused
on ensuring our students leave us both strong academic
and social skills. There are opportunities for students to
participate in Student Leadership and Sports Teams. If you
would like to know more about our school please call us for
a tour.
