School Information
Our goal is to lay the Foundation of Learning one block at a time nurturing character, academic growth, and behavioral growth.
We pride ourselves on being a community where all students, parents, and staff are involved in creating a positive, safe, and motivating environment. The Child is our focus. We nurture, challenge, and respect individuals as they grow and learn.
We currently have 15 classroom teachers. All of our students engage in Art, Music, and Physical Education, as well as our Media Center program. Technology is also used to enhance the educational experience through Computer classes and classroom iPads.
