School personnel, parents, and the community will be working closely together this year to make our schools even better for students. Your help, as students and parents, is necessary for these school improvement efforts. We encourage and welcome you to be active in the life of the school. The primary school (k-3) uses an integrated, thematic approach to basic instruction and utilizes manipulatives in introducing mathematical and basic english concepts. Portfolio assessment is utilized throughout the primary grades. Grades four, five, and six continue to stress the development of academic skills and emphasize the social skills of living and working together in a classroom and school environment. Grades four through eight also participate in the statewide Writing Assessment Program. Our middle school program for grades seven and eight features core curriculum integration, block scheduling, and exploratory experiences in Art, Computers, Natural History, and Music. The basic instructional program is complemented with art, physical education, music, and computer technology at all levels. Other special programs include Supportive Services, Gifted and Talented, Title 1, Migrant Education, Indian Education, and JOM. |
