General Information...

Recognizing the importance of providing educational activities that enrich and broaden student experiences as an integral part of the curriculum as well as beyond the normal academic day, the school supports the development of co-curricular and extracurricular programs.

Co-curricular programs are defined as those activities that enhance and enrich the regular curriculum during the normal school day.

Extracurricular programs are defined as those activities that broaden the educational experience which usually take place beyond the normal school day. Students who desire to participate on athletic teams shall do so on a volunteer basis with the understanding that it is a privilege and not a right to be a member of a school team. All students are invited to participate.

Activities should be designed to meet the needs of and to stimulate interests expressed by students and should cover a broad range of abilities. Equal opportunities are provided for all students to participate in such programs.

Technology...

The goal of technology education in our school is to provide students with the opportunity for technological literacy starting with the elementary curriculum. Our emphasis with students is the application of technology across all grade levels and curricular areas as well as the development of problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

Reporting to Parents...

Classroom progress is reported through quarterly report cards, annual conferences, and informal parent-teacher communication. Student evaluation is consistent with District goals and State Standards.

Testing...

The school achievement testing program assesses the strengths/needs of our instructional programs and measures the achievement of individual students. Testing includes standardized tests, State tests, national assessments, and classroom evaluations.

Homework...

No Homework System for Nursery to Vth Homework at the elementary level begins in an informal fashion but becomes more formal and requires more time and effort as the child progresses through each grade.

Parents are expected to be sufficiently interested in their child�s education to commit the time and energy needed to monitor/supervise the child�s home study and thereby insure that he/she makes a reasonable effort to complete homework assignments.
