The Intermediate Elementary School serves children in fourth and fifth grades. The school building was originally constructed in 1954 and renovated in 1991. Today the facility offers more than 154,000 square feet dedicated to meeting the needs of young learners.
Young children learn by doing. Learning is sequential and children must demonstrate readiness for new understandings based on their maturation and past experiences. Children acquire information and knowledge through interaction with people and objects. They are motivated to learn through their own need to make sense of the world around them.
The building has a card access system and offers telephone, television and intranet access in each classroom. Other amenities include a multi-purpose room, two cafeterias/multi-purpose room, and a gymnasium with auxiliary gym space.
The dismissal times for Tuesday, June 5, the last day of school, are as follows: High School and Middle School will dismiss at 9:18 a.m.; Elementary grades 1-5 will dismiss at 10:20 a.m. AM Kindergarten will be on their regular schedule. There will be NO PM kindergarten.
To help students considering the selection of a foreign language they may wish to study, a special exploratory web site has been created by district ;language instructors. Students can explore the language and the culture of French and Spanish by watching videos and playing games on topics like the alphabet, numbers, colors, and much more.
