At Hutchinson we believe that education is a partnership involving the school staff, students and parents. The active involvement of all three members of this partnership provides a positive, healthy learning environment for the children. The Hutchinson staff emphasizes the uniqueness of students through individualized instruction, positive recognition and emphasis on each student's strengths. It is our goal to help students reach their full potential academically and socially. Hutchinson also serves as a special education center for students with identified social emotional disabilities.
Additional support is provided for students with learning difficulties.
Hutchinson's education program follows the curriculum objectives and standards set forth by Jefferson County Schools. All approaches, though unique in their own way, use integrated learning and authentic assessment as part of their instruction and evaluative process. A wide variety of extended learning activities are offered for all ability levels through our before and after school enrichment learning programs. Throughout the school year there are specially designed extended learning opportunities for students identified by their homeroom teachers. These activities usually happen during the day and are set aside for students who demonstrate the need and ability to handle the work and at the same time consistently show high quality work in the classroom.
