918.491.7100 Grissom Elementary School offers a number of educational programs tailored to the needs of all students, beginning at some of the youngest ages. While the youngest students concentrate on sharpening their readiness skills, the older students are included in the regular classroom during the afternoon sessions. By the time a child reaches the first grade level, several options for placement exist at Grissom Elementary.
Parents meet with administrators and teachers in order to make the correct decision for their child.
Two regular self-contained sections exist, as well as two first grade classes that incorporate team teaching, with different teachers sharing their specific subject matter with students. Second and third grade classes are self-contained, with teachers working together to prepare the units. By the time Grissom students are ready for fourth and fifth grade, they travel to classes and experience several different teachers in the areas of language arts, reading, math, science, music and art. Grissom places great importance on the humanities in education, and also in the study of foreign language. Art and music classes are offered for all students.
