Mission Statement
Magnolia Central Elementary School is working to
bridge the gap between early
childhood and adolescence. Our commitment is to provide an
environment
which fosters a respect for learning that will promote success.
Students are
expected to reach their full potential in all educational
endeavors with an
emphasis on reaching proficiency in all content areas.
Students in
the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades at Central Elementary School are
making transitions academically and socially. The faculty and staff
are dedicated to providing the students with a quality education
including academics, fine arts, physical education, and character
education. The
mathematics curriculum of Central Elementary School allows students
to develop fluency in using mathematical skills and tools,
flexibility and confidence when problem solving, and proficiency in
evaluating solutions. Also, students learn various ways of
communicating mathematical thinking. The curriculums,
Investigations (grades 4-5) and Connected Math (grade 6),
provide students with the mathematical understanding necessary to
advance to higher-level math courses.
Literacy at Central Elementary School is developed through a
literacy-lab classroom environment using the Reader's and Writer's
Workshop concept. Instructional strategies include mini-skill
lessons, literature circles, guided reading instruction, and writing
using a writer's notebook. Grammar is addressed through student's
writings and a daily language activity. A literacy environment,
rich with print of various levels and genres and the availability of
writing materials, encourages students to become lifelong readers
and writers. The Accelerated Reader program encourages students'
independent reading and assesses comprehension. Science and social
studies classes promote learning about the natural world and of the
larger community. In addition
to academic subjects, students at Central Elementary School
participate in daily activity classes including vocal and
instrumental music, art, and physical education. Also, students
attend library and computer classes. Character
education activities and pep rallies reflect a district-wide
character word-of-the-month. Student
learning, both academically and socially, is vital to the faculty
and staff of Central Elementary School. Please call the school
office, if the faculty and staff can be of assistance.
