Livingston School provides a nurturing environment where early grade school
children, preschool through grade four, can develop academically, socially, and
physically. The staff, parents/guardians, and the administration all contribute to this
nurturing effort. We currently enroll 454 students.
The classroom teachers bring to their teaching tasks a wide range of training and
experiences. Our newer members bring new concepts and teaching techniques to bear on the
learning process, while our experienced staff utilizes their experience to assure student
progress. The combination results in a superior educational experience for all of the
children.
The classroom teachers are aided by a nurse who monitors the children's health needs
and provides instruction related to maintaining good health, family life education, and
drug/alcohol abuse prevention. Other specialized teachers provide instruction in library
skills, computers, art, instrumental and vocal music, gifted and talented, A.A.P., E.S.L.,
and special needs. Additionally, our physical education teachers offer a program, which
includes physical conditioning, coordination, game skills, and sportsmanship.
A preschool program, which includes a Head Start component, is also available. This
program is subject to the policies of the Board of Education and all Head Start
regulations.
The support staff of secretaries, custodians, clerical aides, teacher assistants, and
cafeteria/playground aides willingly apply their skills and personal touches to the
benefit of the children and the teaching staff.
No snapshot of the Livingston School family would be complete without a
"picture" of our PTA. The organization contributes to the children's safety,
entertainment, recognition, and many other significant education amenities. The officers,
executive board, and room representatives supported by parents/guardians and teachers add
immeasurably to the high quality of the children's school day.
The local YMCA, with the approval of the Board of Education, offers before and after
care in the building on a fee for services basis. This component is another example of our
effort to provide a safe and nurturing environment designed to meet the children's and
parents' needs.
An excellent cadre of volunteers adds another dimension to our collective efforts at
Livingston School. They serve as readers, tutors, clerical assistants, and monitors while
performing a host of other routine tasks.
Through this nurturing atmosphere, we try to engender within the children entrusted to
us, attitudes that will result in each individual becoming a well mannered, socially
competent, and successful academic member of our Livingston School family and the greater
community. |
