All of our efforts are directed toward ensuring that students are able to read, write and problem-solve at grade level. Thematic Instruction - Teachers teach thematically in order to provide an integrated learning environment. The 1998-1999 theme was Walk Across America . Our 1999-2000 theme is Around the World . These themes will rotate each year.
Students can expect to have their teacher for two years.
Buddy Time - Students are paired with other students of different grade levels to learn together. This cross-age tutoring has seen many positive results. Students are placed in flexible groups in math and reading. These flexible groups allow students to learn and grow at their own levels. There are six full-time certified staff members and three paraprofessionals.
