Language Arts Intervention

Students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade receive a half an hour per day where their individual needs are met. Students who are struggling with grade level standards meet in small groups with instructional aides and other support staff while students who need to be challenged and enriched also get instruction on their level.

Behavior Intervention Program

A Behavior Intervention Specialist is provided by the district and is responsible for assessing students with unique behavior needs and providing a plan for their success in the classroom. The plan will consist of intervention that build social skills and bring about positive change.

English Language Development

Students who have a primary language other than English are identified for English Language instruction through the CELDT test. These students receive instruction from a certified teacher for 30 minutes a day. Instruction focuses on vocabulary, conversation, and English language structure.

Psychologist

A school psychologist is on campus one day a week. This time is strictly for administering tests for the Special Education process.

Resource Specialist Program (RSP)

The Resource Specialist works with students for up to 49% of the day to work on reading and/or mathematics. These services are only available to students who qualify for Special Education services. The majority of the students receive this support in the classroom using the co-teaching model. Some pull out services may be used as well.

Special Day Class

Students in grades 1st through 6th with more serious learning disabilities receive instruction in self-contained classes. Students meet educational goals according to their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). They are assessed annually to determine progress toward meeting their goals. Staff for these classes includes aides.

Speech and Language

Our speech and language specialist establishes remedial programs for students having moderate to severe problems in language and speech areas.

Physical Education

Physical Education is a required part of your child’s school day. A doctor’s excuse is necessary to allow your child to withdraw from participation for any extended period of time.

Library

Our library is located in Room 32. Classes visit the library on a weekly basis and each student (with a parent consent form) has the opportunity to check out library materials. If a student loses or damages the library item, that student will be required to pay for the purchase price of the book. Report cards and Yearbooks will be held until all fines are paid.

Computer/Science/Art Labs

Our labs are located in room 8 and in room 28. All computer programs are standards based and are used to increase students’ proficiency in Language Arts and Mathematics. Classes will also visit the lab when doing science experiments and art projects.
