Math class is a time for problem solving and discovery. All the fifth grade, students working in Social Studies teams, assist each other in preparing presentations. Each classroom has at least one computer and students are encouraged to word process their reports. During their enrichment period, students attend science, computer, art or physical education classes for nine weeks on a rotating schedule. This allows extended time to complete learning products.
Students visit the school library on a weekly basis.
There were 289 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year. Students with disabilities must be educated in settings with their general education peers. Our school has met this district goal. The MCAS was designed to measure how well students, schools, and districts are performing on the state's learning standards contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. These graphs show the growth for the same group of students who were in our school for the entire 1999-2000 school year.
