American Sign Language is used in many of the classrooms to reinforce concepts and language as well as to support our special population. Programs are provided for children to allow achievement at all levels. The World of Work Program at Linden School supports a school postal system, recycling and environmental clean up crew, smile patrol, delivery system, fashion scouts and our own public announcements crew. At the beginning of the school year, students are selected by their teachers to act as delivery people. Each month the students are replaced by two new students.
Students demonstrate good work habits in and out or the classroom.
They provide models for their peers. The program rewards industry, dependability and a strong work ethic. As the year progresses the program expands into an intraschool postal system. The system requires postal clerks, mail sorters and mail deliverers. The school classrooms are assigned letters of the alphabet to facilitate the non readers in delivering the mail.
