Our most common arrangement for teacher assignments has been two teachers for each grade level in a predominately self--contained approach to instruction.   In addition to this traditional opportunity, our fifth and sixth grade students experience the changing of classrooms and teachers for four subjects per day (Language, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies).   Our fourth grade students change classes for one subject, but otherwise are self-contained.  We are also fortunate to provide services for learning disabled students through an Inclusion program.

Other special academic opportunities include: 

	Gifted and Talented Education (classroom, grades 3-6; after school enrichment programs, grades 4-6).
	Speech and Hearing services (grades K-6).
	Bilingual tutoring for E.S.L. (English as a Second Language) students (grades K-6).
	Special Area Classes -- Art, Music, Library, and Physical Education (grades K-6).

We are able to utilize the services of our Media Specialist due to the sharing of services with Borden Junior-Senior High School.  Our students also have the part-time services of an At-Risk Counselor (two days per week) and a school nurse (two half-days per week).

Our V.I.P. (Venturing into Possibilities) program offers many enrichment opportunities to all students, grades 1-4.  These enrichment classes are provided by current staff members and outside community volunteers.  The learning experiences of our school are expanded even further by the services of the parent volunteer program.
