The purpose of expanded learning time is to increase student achievement and to prepare students to be college and career ready. With more time, we are able to provide a personalized education for every student based on their current skill level and interests. All students have enriched learning experiences including inquiry based science, advanced technology, engineering and mathematics. Students participate with their class in 6 cycles of enrichment during the school year. Grades K-2 have enrichment in the afternoon from 2:45-3:45 PM and grades 3-5 have enrichment from 8:00-9:00 AM.

We are fortunate to work with many great community partners.
