We have 7 regular classrooms and 1 classroom designated for our music, fitness, library, and art classes. Our students attend library, specials and recess. All day students have lunch at school (provided by the family of each all-day student) and a short rest period. We choose to offer lots of opportunity to transition in and out of the classroom so students can experience a variety of learning and teaching styles.
