We are one of 12 elementary schools in the Sachem School District in Holbrook, New York. Merrimac's resourceful staff is dedicated to providing a positive atmosphere, where each of our students will develop the ability to pursue life long learning skills. We offer a comprehensive and challenging curriculum. Yearly school activities are numerous. We use a literature based Language Arts program, Scholastic Literacy Place, in Grades K-3.
Computer technology is integrated throughout the curriculum.
All classrooms have five computers and our library has 10 computer stations. Students are involved in cooperative work groups and integrated activites. Changes in our curriculum and new approaches enable our students to be well prepared for future academic challenges. School and family must share the responsibility of promoting our children's academic, social, and emotional well being. Remember, Children are our most valuable natural resource.
