Willagillespie offers a balanced program for youngsters that includes art, music, physical education and media taught by classroom teachers, specialists, instructional assistants and parent-supported resident instructors. Emphasis is placed on cooperative learning strategies and on the district's integrated curriculum. Whole-language techniques are an increasing part of the program.
Students get additional help in basic skills from the resource room.
Community involvement includes an active PTA and school site council. However for budgeting purposes, kindergartners are counted as .5 each because they attend only half time. Please send comments or questions to the 4J Web Team .
