The Discovery Science Team is a district-wide group of full-time teachers whose main focus is to provide hands-on science instruction to kindergarten through fifth grade students that complements the core instruction delivered by their classroom teacher. For the 2020-2021 school year, Discovery Science will be part of the weekly “specials” rotations, providing experiences to enhance the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)-aligned core curriculum. These extended opportunities allow students to engage in science and the engineering practices at a deeper level. Susan Champagne – [email protected]

The Distance Learning Academy, as a district-wide program, is comprised of faculty from amongst the entire district. This includes both regular classroom and exploratory teachers, Bilingual/English Language Learning, and Student Support Service teachers. We agree that it is important for children in the Distance Learning Academy to maintain a connection to their home schools.  Children will continue to be included in any home school activities and principals will be asked to develop specific and regular activities where children in the Distance Learning Academy may interact with grade level peers in their home schools to build community. The academic program of the Distance Learning Academy will follow the same curriculum and learning goals and targets as a child’s home school and students will be assessed in the same manner as their home school peers. It is not our intention to fully separate children enrolled in the Distance Learning Academy from their…
