The teachers and parents strive to help students master language arts and math essential skills as prescribed by state academic standards. Emphasizing reading, writing, and math as basic elements of all future education, each school administers programs to meet the student's individual needs. To maximize the benefits of individual and small group learning, each school has a federally funded Title I reading and math program which affords selected students the opportunity to improve phonetic and word-attack skills, vocabulary, comprehension oral and math skills. To enable students to explore subjects more thoroughly gifted and talented classes are available to encourage selected students to explore areas of special interest. Every child expands his knowledge and use of basic skills through classes in science, health, and social studies.
Libraries furnish additional materials for learning.
Art, music and physical education are provided for all students. Expansion of individual interests is encouraged through various programs including student council, school newspapers and yearbooks, and vocal programs, history club and science, social studies and art fairs. A strong Young Authors' Program is in place in the elementaries. Parents are encouraged to participate in school activities. The elementaries have exceptional parent-teacher organizations or parent volunteer programs.
