The concept of a departmentalized approach to the teaching-learning process in science and social studies begins at the 3rd/4th grade levels.

Homeroom subjects include religion, reading, spelling, math, English, library and art.

Specialized classes in computer science, math lab, music, and physical education are offered on a weekly basis.

Mrs. Meehan offers opportunities for each student to grow as an individual, to achieve independence, to love learning, to respect self/others/environment, and to think creatively and critically in the curricular area of science.  Engaged learning activities are used in the teaching of life, earth, and physical science concepts.  Students observe, analyze, compare/contrast data, and respond in a variety of ways---drawings, charts/graphs, oral presentations, demonstrations, and projects.
