Educating the body as well
as the mind is the job of our physical education department. Our fully
equipped PE program provides students with the opportunity to
participate in different games, sports, exercises and dance. They learn
about bones, muscles and good nutrition.
Our school is also
supported by the services of a library media and technology specialist
who assist students and staff in integrating literacy and technology
into their daily lives. With a growing number of smart boards in
classrooms, children are learning skills for the 21st century. A push in
enrichment program is provided for all 1st graders by our part time
Gifted and Talented teacher.
Social Skills are developed
in classroom and enhanced through programs developed by our school
psychologist. ESL services are provided for identified students.
Early intervention and
related services for struggling students are provided through reading
specialists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and the school
psychologist. Response To Intervention services are provided by our RTI
team and documented by our Learning Consultant.
Finally, our school nurse,
secretarial staff and custodians support the entire WOS community. If
