Community School - Grades Pre-K to 5th Grade

Elementary School

 

MissionThrough a collaborative school community, we will provide vigorous standards-driven curricula to all students in a nurturing environment. Students will achieve their full potential to become life long learners, critical, creative thinkers, and productive citizens. 

Our diverse collaborative school community is dedicated to achieving high levels of academic excellence for all.

We serve grades Pre-K -5 students in general education, English language learners, students with special needs, and gifted and talented programs. There is a strong interdisciplinary link between the learning standards, the arts, and technology.

The mission of the Community School District 30 Gifted and Talented program is to provide children with a “world class” education. The program was created to meet the unique needs of community children who have met the criteria for giftedness. These are children who are creative thinkers and problem solvers. The educational program is designed to support and enhance their abilities. They are provided with a differentiated curriculum which is advanced, enriched, and designed to challenge their critical, creative, and productive thinking processes. 

Admission to the program is based on a comprehensive screening process. Students must continue to demonstrate high standards both academically and socially to maintain eligibility for the program.

 

We are a nurturing learning community where the school and home are partners committed to promoting academic, social, and emotional growth.
