Despite being a small town, Granger benefits from strong partnerships with local community members and businesses. We’re fortunate to receive both financial support and collaborative efforts from partners who share our commitment to integrating STEM-based learning into our curriculum. Many of these partners also serve on our advisory board, offering essential feedback that guides our future planning and programming. These partnerships open valuable opportunities for students to engage in enriching experiences beyond the classroom. 

Northpoint Elementary School works closely with local community partners to implement STEM-based initiatives at multiple levels. Their support has opened new opportunities for students to develop essential employability and 21st-century skills. Through feedback from the Community Partner Survey, our partners help us continually refine and enhance our goal of integrating STEM education into our everyday curriculum. 

At Northpoint Elementary School, career exploration is included in our STEM curriculum for 100% of our students.  K-5 students are enrolled in and participate in STEM units that include career exploration through out the week.  Career Exploration is a component of the PLTW and Mystery Science curriculum.  Students also explore career pathways in teacher created lessons that connect to our Reading curriculum.  Students participate in activities where they either visit organizations, or use technology  to learn about career’s in STEM sectors.  All of our students involved in the  Lego League  program are required to learn about a career in STEM, by completing a research project.

Northpoint Elementary School provides a wide range of extended learning opportunities for all of our students. Our extended learning offerings include field trips, after-school clubs, and various activities, all tailored to meet the unique interests and needs of our student body. These experiences are thoughtfully designed to reflect our diverse demographics and to maximize their impact on student growth. The success of these programs is made possible by the strong support of our parent community, whose involvement is essential to our after-school initiatives.

Northpoint Elementary School is dedicated to offering a wide range of STEM experiences for all K-5 students. We take pride in the progress we’ve made in making STEM education accessible and inclusive to students from all backgrounds. Our comprehensive list of extended learning opportunities includes STEM career exploration, and we are excited to continue expanding these experiences as we grow in our commitment to STEM education.
