About Hannah Caldwell School...

Hannah Caldwell Elementary School is located on a hilltop setting. It has an enrollment of 540 children in grades pre-kindergarten to four. The School serves a diverse population that reflects the community.

The mission of Hannah Caldwell is to provide a safe, well organized, child centered environment. Our goal is to establish an atmosphere conductive to mutual respect, integrity and shared values which encourages each child to reach his/her intellectual potential. When the resources of students, staff and community are combined children will develop life skills needed to become productive adults and life long learners.

Our program at Hannah Caldwell fosters academic excellence. Students receive instruction in all Core Content Standard areas. Speech, ESL, and Resource Center In-class support and the Academic Achievement (funded through Title I) are available to students needing support services. The school day also includes exploratory and enrichment areas such as Gifted/Talented, Health and Physical Education, Art, Music, Computers, Spanish and Chorus. Instrumental music lessons, band and orchestra are available to interested third and fourth grade students. The technology component at Hannah Caldwell has been enhanced with computers in classrooms (Grades 1,2,3 and 4) in addition to the computer lab with 25 units and the media center with 5 units. All computers are networked and on-line.

Other support services include a full time Guidance Counselor who provides individual and small group counseling and the Rainbow Program for children who have experienced losses due to death, divorce or moving.

Hannah Caldwell is focused on comprehensive strategies to promote positive student behaviors and social skills. Special programs which highlight student involvement are the Citizenship Assemblies, Water Festival, community support issues, and school wide reading incentive programs.

We also provide after school programs funded through Demonstrably Effective Program Aid (DEPA) for grades 1 through 4. Reading and/or math support are provided for students who are having difficulty.

A strong initiative for parent participation is evident through Family Math, Family Science, Family Technology Night, Family Geography Night, Parenting Skills Seminars, FANS, GAINS (Language Arts) and GAINS (Performing and Visual Arts). These programs assist parents in understanding the Core Curriculum Standards and their role through active participation. When our parents and school join as a team, the students win.

The PTA at Hannah Caldwell coordinates the parent volunteer program. Parents are encouraged to share their interest and/or expertise and to assist with school time tasks. Parents are involved on the School Planning Team.

Hannah Caldwell is an excellent and vibrant place where students come first. Staff, parents, and community are committed to building strong bonds between home and school, which provides the formula for the best educational environment for all children.
