Program Description:
Parker Elementary starts its day with a strong emphasis on the academics. Students master skills in mathematics and are able to apply them. We strive to instill a love of reading and a passion for expression through writing. Our mornings are dedicated to core curriculum. The afternoon includes an elective program, called interest groups, based on teacher strengths and student interests. Choices incorporate art, science and literature. Spanish is taught to 1st through 5th graders up to five days a week, kinders up to three days. Our students successfully move on to middle and high school Spanish. Parker offers several exciting after-school opportunities for children such as Creative Care, chess club, art, book club, garden club and salsa.
School Highlights:
  • A blend of developmental and academic kindergarten with a kindergarten extended year (KEY) program • An energetic, dynamic, and professional teaching team
  • Emphasis on literacy and math taught using brain-friendly educational strategies; enrichment opportunities are offered through interest groups
  • A strong belief in shaping a well-rounded student; Parker continues to value PE and music and we have made staffing decisions that allow us to keep these programs at the highest level possible
  • Building strong community by teaching and learning in mixed grade level interest groups as well as schoolwide celebrations and events
  • A parent group that is actively involved both in and out of the classroom; our parent group works diligently to help shape and support our creative, stimulating and well-rounded curriculum
