Each child is teamed up with an older child to help with reading, writing, art, and other projects that will enhance their academic performance and social skills. The older students learn responsibility and gain confidence. We have a fileserver and computers capable of editing student videos. Several projects we do in the lab include presentations with Hyperstudio, KidPix, e-mail pen pals, and digital video editing. Students use computers regularly to publish their work and to do research.
Teachers integrate technology across the curriculum.
To this end we have established a strong group of student Conflict Managers. They are trained by our student advisor Ms. Janet Pandolfi, and supported by the principal, Ms. Parrott. The conflict managers are always present in the yard and in the hallways. They are identifiable by their shirts, and are available to assist students at all times. Conflict management sessions may take place anywhere in the school.
