Homestead Elementary School: Where Children Love to Learn
The staff of Homestead Elementary School
believes in inspiring all students to think, to learn, to achieve and to
care. We work collaboratively with one another to provide students a
well-balanced education. Homestead provides a nurturing environment
where students feel respected, valued and safe. We are committed to
using varied instructional strategies focused on helping all students
succeed.
These strategies are based on best practice and include direct
instruction to enhance skill attainment, project opportunities for skill
application and homework to reinforce classroom learning.
We believe students learn best in a nurturing atmosphere where they:
- feel respected, valued, and safe
- have positive parental support
- are given high standards and clear expectations
- are provided a structured environment that encourages creativity
- have opportunities to make choices
- help each other achieve goals
- take responsibility for their own learning
We love to celebrate student
accomplishments, and not surprisingly, we do a lot of celebrating at
Homestead Elementary.
