This is enhanced by ongoing relationships with the families and community. The building curriculum is organized in a series of vertical teams. Student publications play an important part in the writing process and are on display in the media center. Students have the opportunity to participate in a Summer Reading Program that involves the Coralville Public Library, a local bank, and the school. This project ends in a school-wide assembly.
Students participate in cultural events including field trips to area museums and theaters.
Students are organized for instruction in self-contained classrooms. The children from the Early Childhood Special Education Program are integrated with kindergarten students to promote a least restrictive environment. Several support programs assist in meeting the individual needs of students in special education programs such as speech and language, physical therapy, and resource programs. The Parent Teacher Organization is a very active organization that provides a great deal of volunteer help to the educational programs in the building. In addition, they sponsor a variety of activities where students and families participate together.
