Department Highlights
A critical component to our ELA program is Independent Reading. We strive to create literacy rich environments where students choose to read independently. Click on the following link to see why Baron and Doe Run Elementary Schools are utilizing components of the American Reading Company to make this happen!
Kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders are empowered to develop as learners through Badging. As children master skills, they add to their collection of badges. This information is communicated to guardians regularly and guardians are provided with resources to support their child.
All elementary learners will become experts on various topics though theme based units that will develop their language arts skills.
All elementary classrooms are immersed in an online program called eSpark. Students are provided with a personalized learning path based on their individual instructional needs.
