A character education program focuses on responsibility, cooperation, compassion, perseverance and integrity. Students are given opportunities to participate in a variety of leadership activities such as student council, individual classroom responsibilities, our Big Friend program and our weekly Acacia Airwaves radio show. There are also consequences to help students who have difficulty behaving appropriately. Field trips, assemblies, and guest speakers are provided to enrich the curriculum and enhance the students' understanding of the world around them. Our sixth graders participate in outdoor education which is an extension of their classroom learning.
Parents are on our campus daily and are involved in all school activities.
Parent volunteers provide support and assistance in the Media Center and in classrooms. This year's District and site level curriculum work has focused on several areas. Second, curriculum has been developed in Social Studies, Fine Arts and Health in grades K-8. Third, staff has worked to implement new curriculum in Physical Education. And finally, the textbook selection process was begun for the area of Language Arts and will continue into the next school year.
