We offer a full K-5 elementary educational program to our 500 students. New this school year is the introduction of foreign language to grade 3 students. Spanish instruction will take place during the school year twice a week and lessons will be thirty minutes in length and will be taught by Mr. Andy Roy.

We hope the information provided on this Web site will be a useful and helpful resource to you.

Our goal is for students to make continuous progress in learning across the curriculum with a specific focus on literacy, numeracy, and writing. We also believe our students should attend a school which is committed to an understanding and implementation of child-centered programming which includes strong connections and partnerships with parents and the community.
