The program is enriched through teacher creativity and extended to include critical thinking skills developed with the scope and sequence outlines provided in the science textbooks. Science lab activities and experiments are used to provide valuable hands on experiences and to gain valuable problem solving skills that are applicable in all areas of a student's education. Science is taught but not graded in Grades PreK-2. Throughout the grades an interdisciplinary approach is used with emphasis on history, geography, civics, economics and current events. Map skills and related activities are integral to the social studies curriculum.
Homework includes both written and study assignments.
Ample time is allowed for the completion of research assignments or projects. Please examine and sign your child's completed homework, test and assignment tablets in all grades. Incomplete assignments will be noted with a red circle in their assignment tablet. Assignments that are incomplete must be finished immediately and returned to the teacher for review and possible credit. If a child repeatedly comes to school without completed homework, their grade in that particular subject will be affected and other disciplinary actions may be taken.
