The Stokes County Schools Elementary Program works toward students gaining independence and responsibility. Our program builds a strong foundation for future success. Expectations for high student achievement are coupled with a strong focus on building a positive self-concept. A strong emphasis on communications skills is found in the elementary classroom.
Students develop skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
A literature-based approach is used in the elementary classrooms. Students read a wide variety of materials individually, in small groups, and whole class. Mathematics is another major component of elementary curriculum. Students develop an understanding of numbers, patterns, geometric ideas, measurement skills and learn to construct tables and graphs. These mathematical concepts are intertwined with problem-solving and critical thinking.
