These children are included in all social areas of the curriculum and into academic subjects, as appropriate. Olde Creek shares a building with the Olde Creek Center for emotionally disabled students and works closely with the center staff. Staff members organize each school day to maximize learning assuring uninterrupted time for core academic subjects. Classroom teachers work cooperatively with students, parents, and staff members to complete an assessment-instruction cycle that continuously provides feedback to students. Student progress is assessed through teacher observations, progress report marks, and standardized test scores.
Technology continues to be a major focus in our school.
Every child has access to various components of technology in the classrooms and the library. The PTA has strongly supported the school s use of technology by providing equipment and volunteers for the classrooms. Differentiated instructional programs are available for students with special requirements such as gifted and talented, learning disabilities, speech, and instrumental music. After-school activities include foreign language classes. The newly established Habitat reinforces and extends our commitment to learning through concrete, integrated experience.
