To contribute to our student's futures, our social studies curriculum encourages critical thinking and a focus on cultures and people. An emphasis is placed on citizenship rights and responsibilities, geographic awareness, New York State history, United States history and democratic principles. Students in all grades are involved in direct teacher instruction, participation projects, cooperative group learning, and individual projects in social studies. The Arts Appreciation and utilization of the arts is a key for life long learning. Sequential creative learning experiences are provided for every student through music and art instruction.
Every student meets weekly with art and music teachers for a variety of experiences.
A healthy mind and body are key prerequisites for our students' future. Students learn about their minds, bodies, and emotions through our health and physical education curricula. In the area of health education, students through all grade levels focus their attention on the five senses, feelings, nutrition, personal hygiene, dental health, safety and fitness. The physical education program combines whole group instruction with self discovery learning through which all students may feel a sense of accomplishment. The goals of the program are life long fitness and good health through activities designed to teach cooperation and have fun.
