All classes have 60 minutes of Spanish a week. The goal of our program is to establish limited oral proficiency in vocabulary areas basic to age and interest of students. We also reinforce objectives of regular classroom curriculum, focusing on science, social studies, math, and language arts. The district provides a broad continuum of services to assist students with disabilities and those experiencing learning difficulties in school. At the heart of the special education philosophy is the belief that all children have the right to be educated in age appropriate heterogeneous classrooms to the maximum extent possible.
Spelling provides an important support for other language arts skills.
Master lists for each grade were selected from the McDugal, Littell Spelling program. These words are categorized according to a specific pattern and include a challenge word list. Provision is made for systematic maintenance and growth at each grade level. Orchestra instruction is offered beginning in the fourth grade continuing through high school. The fifth grade students are invited to play in one of the Elementary Orchestras.
