The elementary school is an agency designed to provide appropriate learning experiences to meet the needs, capabilities, and interests of its students. Opportunities for total student development include involvement in a strong academic core of skills, as well as activities that promote social, moral, and physical enhancement.
Language Arts: Our students start school with a wide range of prior experiences and background knowledge. Therefore, it is especially important to assess growth from the beginning to the end of the year in kindergarten. If a student is significantly below (two or more years delayed) the expected level in either receptive or expressive language on the spring assessment (Success in Early Prevention of School Failure) a Personalized Education Plan should be developed to address special remediation strategies needed in the first grade.
Mathematics: In addition to Language Arts, a student should show understanding of the expected concepts on an ongoing basis and achieve 75% or higher mastery on the end of the year summative assessment.
