Springs School District has eleven neighborhood elementary schools.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Students study the same curriculum
district-wide regardless of the size or location of their school.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Math, science, language arts,
social studies, technology, health/fitness, music and art are integral
parts of the student’s school day.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</SPAN>Students enjoy individualized instruction in science, math, social
studies and reading through the CCC computer lab established in each
school.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Class sizes are
restricted to ensure the most effective learning possible.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Each building’s staff has strong
instructional leadership and high expectations for individual student
success which is continually measured.<SPAN

style="mso-tab-count: 1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</SPAN>Some schools use the multi-age concept of combining two grades
together with students staying with the same teachers for both years.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Other schools use
looping--students stay with the same teacher for more than one year.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>The teacher in essence “promotes”
with her/his students so that valuable time is not lost at the beginning
of the school year to re-learn concepts already mastered.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>Most of the elementary
buildings departmentalize for the upper grades.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>When departmentalizing, teachers
teach their strength areas and students rotate throughout the day,
traveling from teacher to teacher for the basic skills
classes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>Art, music, and physical education are taught weekly by specialists
in those fields.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Students
receive instruction in these classes each week.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>The media center of each school is
also a valuable resource; students receive instruction on computers, check
out books and periodicals, and conduct academic research.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Counseling and guidance are
provided for students as needs arise.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>At the beginning of the 1999-2000 school year, all but one building
will provide before and after school daycare through the grant-driven
Prime Time program.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>That
school will work with the nearby YMCA for delivery of the same
services.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Prime Time is
designed for working families as a safe, secure, and supportive place for
children to be during the hours when parents are working.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>The well-qualified staff delivers
a curriculum designed to give children many opportunities to be successful
in a variety of stimulating and fun-filled
activities.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
