As part of a grant, we are developing a comprehensive, standards based environmental curriculum that brings an environmental focus to use as a tool in everyday lessons across all subject areas. We involve students in field research projects that teach them research skills and higher order thinking skills. Students participate in data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and presentation. There is a focus on computer skills. Basic computer skills are introduced. Some examples are word processing, graphics, database, spreadsheet, exploring web activities, programming and multimedia applications. There is an integration of technology into the curriculum whenever possible. Our focus is to provide more adult support, individual instruction and smaller instructional groups in the classroom and in field experiences.  Minnesota Department of Education School Report Card   [Back] Superintendent's Award For Outstanding Academic Achievement for 1998-1999 For Continuous School Improvement for 2000-2001 & 2001-2002 Superintendent’s Academic Award for School Improvement Banner 2006-2007 Superintendent’s Academic Award for School Improvement Banner 2007-2008 2001 Apple for Your School Award We are the recipients of the Washington State Apple Commission's Award for improved student achievement.
