As a result, the students at Colleyville Elementary have inherited their parents' joy of learning and belief that a well-balanced education is the key to success in the future. In addition, many are fortunate enough to have opportunities to participate in music, scouting, athletics, dance, gymnastics, and church activities that are important to our community and to the development of well-rounded individuals. The staff and faculty at Colleyville Elementary share the same high expectations as our parents. We have excellent, committed teachers who spend many extra hours planning and preparing special learning projects for our students. Instructional methods include cooperative hands on learning and the use of manipulatives.
Teachers make every effort to keep students actively engaged in critical thinking.
Our teaching staff is a blend of fresh beginning teachers and those who are devoted and experienced. Teachers show their commitment to meeting student needs by their willingness to serve on special committees, lead special programs, and develop practices to include children with special needs in their regular classrooms. It is not unusual to see teachers attend after school sports activities and recitals. At our Fall Festival, teachers help raise money by placing entries in our silent auction. Their entries range from handmade crafts to dinner and a movie with a student.
