Buffalo Trail Elementary provides a nurturing
environment where students are inspired to think, learn, achieve and care. Our
focus on high academic expectations is combined with a goal to develop a strong
sense of character in students. We work to develop respect and responsibility in
all facets of school life.
Our rigorous curriculum has an academic emphasis in
language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. All students (K-5) will
have routine exposure to physical education, music, art, and research and media
skills. Technology is integrated throughout the instructional day.
Buffalo Trail features several programs to enhance our
classrooms and support the needs of our students, including Gifted and
Talented, Special Education and intervention support across all grade
levels. We provide differentiated and culturally relevant instruction to
meet the needs of all children. We believe in cooperative learning that is
hands-on, fun and engaging.
Our school can only be as strong as the partnerships
within it. We strive to connect staff, students, and parents to create a challenging,
child-centered learning community. Our teachers employ solid instructional
practices, and focus on assessment and accountability. Together, we breathe life
into our school mission: To inspire every student to think, to learn, to
achieve, and to care.
Respectfully,
Tamara Speidel
