Along with the PTA, local businesses are helping with the project. Kim Riggleman of Blue Star is helping with the design plans for the long house. Future plans include expanding the program to include the lower grades, eventually making it a district wide project. If you would like to contribute to the project, please contact Steve Harris or Fred Arnold. Through teamwork and a commitment to excellence from staff, parents, students and community, we strive to achieve high standards.
Teachers continue to review and analyze strengths and weaknesses of our curriculum.
Our current focus has been on the area of spelling and language arts. We continue to find ways to improve our spelling program through the use of teaching strategies involving phonics as well as traditional literature approaches. The new social studies curriculum includes CD roms which provide exciting and motivating avenues for teachers and students. Our math curriculum, Mathland, requires children have a greater understanding of math operations. We are now piloting a Beginning Algebra Program for 5 th graders.
