LeConte has also joined with the University of California's Cooperative Extension program to create the first 4-H program in Berkeley using the Farm and Garden's resources and our students' energy and enthusiasm. P arents play a vital role in promoting positive changes in the LeConte community. We have a long tradition of community and family involvement in the school's programs. Our teachers, staff, and students work together to create a network of relationships within the school's walls, as well as build bridges to the larger community outside the school. LeConte draws 380 children from a broad cross-section of families in south Berkeley.
Most classrooms are also successfully including students with disabilities.
Our ethnically diverse teaching staff is committed to using a rich multi-cultural curriculum that encourages parents to contribute to the classroom.
