Students are surveyed about their aspirations and ideas, and the survey results used to design new programs. We emphasize building community with projects such as a mail system, cross-grade learning buddies, sharing assemblies, and cooperative and broadening learning programs with peers in urban districts. Parent volunteers are plentiful. They help staff the library, volunteer in the classrooms and operate a publishing center. One parent volunteer project is a first-grade literacy program.
Parents work with students every week on developing reading skills and fluency.
A teacher trains these special volunteers, who meet periodically to discuss their work. Our care of and concern for students extends beyond the final bell. Many staff work on developing curricula for the district and in our summer school programs. A child care program is also available after school for working parents.
