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.
