Park Elementary

Students at Park School learn all content areas through our Wyoming State Standards. Teachers use best practices to include age-appropriate, real-world problems. Ongoing assessment and goal-setting conferences help students understand and master strategies. Park believes students learn best from real-world experiences, so field trips, guest speakers, and hands-on activities become an integral part of our units of study.

 

Park School utilizes Bridges for Mathematics in all classrooms providing students with a unique blend of direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration.

 

Park students, parents, and staff focus on “living” the Eight Keys of Excellence from the Quantum Learning framework designed to equip students for success in all arenas of life.

 

Park's philosophy regarding student behavior is to teach students skills they will need to have healthy relationships and resolve conflict now and later in life. Our goal is to create a space for accountability and build relationships at the same time, guiding students to recognize the impact of their actions and take steps to restore harm through restorative practices.

 

Park recognizes the value of parent involvement and provides numerous opportunities for parents to volunteer within the school.

 

Park Elementary is home to NCSD’s Spanish Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program, offering Spanish in Kindergarten through 5th grade. With DLI, children are exposed to bilingual learning when their brains are at their optimum ability to build neural pathways for acquiring a second language. Students are taught math, social studies and science in Spanish for half of the day. The other half of the day is spent learning language arts, literacy skills and core subject reviews in English.
