Carpenter Nature Center:
Students in grades K-4 enjoy the setting and offerings of Carpenter Nature Center each year. Our relationship with Carpenter Nature Center has allowed the students to explore the wonder of science and the environment. A specific curriculum has been established so each grade level has a course of study.
Extended Day/Extended Year Programs:
Extended year is the District Summer School Program which runs for three weeks in July. Extended day programs are offered to eligible students before or after school, students experience a hands-on, activity based program which challenges them to learn new concepts while reinforcing the basis skills necessary for success.
