The Extended Learning Program is an academically based program for those students needing more challenges. ELP is primarily a pullout program. Students qualify for ELP based on the results of several objective and subjective measures, including standardized tests as well as teacher and peer nominations. Each student is evaluated, and an ELP Committee makes the final selections.
1st and 2nd Grade: 1st and 2nd-grade students get a mix of whole-class and small-group activities. They try new activities and practice skills such as deductive and convergent thinking. These activities introduce new concepts and challenge them to think creatively. These lessons make learning fun for the kids and me! :)

3rd Grade: 3rd-grade students meet once a week and start the year working on a research project. They each selected an animal to research and designed a zoo exhibit sign. They worked on independent, technology, and research skills throughout this project.
4th Grade: 4th-grade students meet once a week and start the year working on a research project. They each selected a destination and had to research aspects of the place for a potential vacation spot. They created a presentation about their place to inform and convince others to travel there. They are taking their independent, technology, and research skills to the next level.
