Cooperative work is featured here as in other disciplines. Youngsters learn that they can solve a problem in more than one way. Technology is important, and students use calculators and the computer. The academic year is divided into four marking periods. The report cards have extensive written evaluations.
Letter grades begin in fourth grade.
The first evaluation takes place at a parent conference. Additional conferences may be scheduled at the initiation of either parent or teacher. Traditions are very much alive in our school. As it has been for years, lunch is served family style and our Lower School children wear uniforms. The Lower School Musical in conjunction with Grandparents Day, the Holiday Breakfast and Strawberry Breakfast are long-standing family traditions.
