A clearly defined, well-understood, coherent curriculum is in place to serve as the basis for a sound program of instruction kindergarten through fifth grade. The curriculum emphasizes the development and extension of reading, writing, and mathematics skills. The faculty shares common goals, direction, and focus for the entire K-5 educational program. A sense of unity, togetherness, and family exist as staff members recognize their interdependence on others within the school. Teamwork is evident as the staff works in a collaborative unified manner to realize its goals.
Activities are evident which link parents and the community to the school.
Parents and parental input is highly regarded and considered in all school decisions. Parents are treated by staff and administrators as joint partners in the education of children. A commitment toward reduced class size exists as a means for increasing achievement and decreasing disciplinary problems. Decreasing the pupil teacher ratio in each grade level fosters more individualized instruction and attention. Engagement and active involvement in the learning process is more readily maintained and monitored in smaller classes.
