Elementary K-5◊
We know that children are curious and eager to learn.
All students must be engaged in a rigorous, meaningcentered curriculum that is activity-based and draws
on a student’s higher order thinking skills. Through the
collaborative efforts of the staff, we ensure that each child
is successful in mastering the standards. Our students feel
safe both emotionally and physically and enjoy a clean, well
maintained site. We present a well-rounded program that
is research-based, age appropriate, authentic, intellectually
challenging, promotes creativity, and exceeds the standards
set by the District and the state. We use a differentiated
approach to learning in order to ensure that all students are
able to be successful. Our lessons are developed based on
the experiences of the child and work towards expanding
their current intellectual horizons. Our rich program includes
a balanced approach to literacy, hands on math and science,
arts integration, music, physical education, gardening, and
ecology. We’re committed to a welcoming and caring school
community where all students are able to achieve. We’ve
integrated the use of technology into the instructional
program. We boast strong parent involvement and support,
as well as an amazing, collaborative, and professional staff!
