The purpose of this site is to centralize helpful information for parents and students to enhance the 5th grade learning experience.
Grade Level Philosophy
We are teachers of diverse life and teaching experiences. We use these experiences to help our students progress to the fullest extent of their abilities. We work very closely together, communicating with parents, each other, and other educators to improve learning for all students. Our team approach is obvious in all we do.
