We also provide grade level teams with planning days for developing multi-disciplinary, integrated, thematic units. This covenant included the responsibilities of all three parties. The retreat gives valuable opportunities for a variety of activities including team building, group and team discussions, goal setting, staff development, and unit planning. We have an intimate relationship with the local university. We have focused on including a variety of multicultural literatures into the integrated units.
Field trips are an essential part of the curriculum.
Students go to a variety of places in the Charlotte area including historical, science and art museums, zoos, businesses, banks, historical sites, plays, concerts, and parks. Fifth grade students travel to Washington, D.C. in the spring. The students repeat the David Cox Pledge each morning which stresses individual respect, responsibility, and resourcefulness. We are excited about our journey toward becoming a Basic School and are anxious to support you in your journey. The above list is an incomplete list of highlights.
