Working closely with all Park County School District elementary schools, our curriculum and instruction includes: reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students also enjoy art, physical education, music, and media/library instruction provided on a weekly basis via shared teachers from various in-town schools.

Reading: We utilize a balanced literacy approach through the use of grade and ability level books and Houghton Mifflin’s Journeys basal.

Writing: Our curriculum is centered upon the writing workshop approach guided by the frameworks of the Six Traits of Writing model.

Mathematics: We emphasize number sense, math facts, and problem-solving skills as formalized in the Houghton Mifflin’s Expressions series.

We wisely supplement our curriculum on an ongoing basis and utilize technology to enhance learning. Periodically, students participate in learning adventures together with Wapiti and/or Glenn Livingston Elementary schools.
