Elementary Literacy Program
The literacy program in our elementary schools is based on the research from the National Reading Panel (NRP). Every day students have multiple opportunities to learn essential literacy skills identified by the NRP. These skills include phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and most importantly comprehension. Students work with books at and above their reading level with varying levels of support, so that they experience success while encountering great children's literature.
Our literacy program also values writing. Our classrooms provide opportunities daily for students to practice and enhance their writing skills. They learn both the craft and mechanics of writing starting in kindergarten, and they continue to work on those skills each year.
New State Mandated Instruction
Visit our Student Wellness page for information on new State mandated instruction for Erin's Law (Senate Bill 288) and the SAVE Students act (House Bill 123). We provide information on each requirement and the curriculum that was selected from the list provided by the State. Parents are encouraged to review the information so that they can make an informed decision of whether or not they want to opt-out of that instruction.
