During the year, you will see and hear may things happening in our school.First and foremost, you will see and hear students learning many new things through instruction planned by our dedicated teachers. As you visit each classroom you will see students learning in many different ways as our teachers use differentiated instruction, hands on manipulatives, computer instruction, multiple intelligences, flexible grouping, guided reading, reading clinics, acceleration through previewing, essential questions, enrichment, extended day kindergarten and before school academic programs to help all students reach their maximum potential. You might participate in a classroom meeting where students and teachers make decisions and solve problems. You might hear a class talking about our school Code of Conduct or our Bully Buster program.

Each year, we focus on helping students meet achievement expectations of the Pennsylvania State Standards Assessments (PSSA) and the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal legislation. Our mission statement, which is an extension of our District vision,
