A Message from our Principal Welcome to El Oro Way Elementary School! As I meet and get acquainted with El Oro Way, I am delighted to discover a community that has worked effectively to create and maintain an attractive and nurturing school environment. It is exciting to be joining this professional learning community where faculty, staff, administration, parents, and community members collaborate to provide our wonderful students with rigorous Standards Based Instruction enriched with programs in both arts and science. We are also a School for Advanced Studies (SAS) in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.El Oro Way incorporates Dr. Sandra Kaplan’s work on Depth and Complexity into the State of California curriculum through the use of Universal Themes and Big Ideas. Students are challenged to think critically and to problem solve both independently and in cooperative learning groups. Our Arts Program teachers provide opportunities for students to experience directed lessons in the Visual Arts, Dance and Theater. Our PTA enhanced our Music program with one additional day of music instruction each week so that every student has the opportunity for choral music instruction throughout the year. Our half-time Physical Education teacher is working to increase the fitness level of every student at El Oro Way. Our Wonder of Reading Library with our Volunteer Readers Program reaches out into our community to connect students with adults to instill in each child a love of reading. Our computer lab provides our students with hands on computer skills and promotes independent research. Our unique Habitat is an outdoor science classroom where students observe five different eco-systems and follow the life cycle of many insects and plants. The Parent Center is available for parents as they volunteer in our classrooms. The Reading Garden was successfully completed last year and provides a venue for students to perform dramatic presentations or recite poetry. Interested parents are invited to come for a personal tour of our school. We are very proud of our school and maintain the belief that with the appropriate support and high expectations all children can succeed. |
