Curriculum Enrichment
WCS elementary students enjoy a variety of enrichment classes and activities both during school hours and after school. Enrichment classes meeting during the regular school day include Art, Library, Music, Physical Education, Spanish, and Technology. In addition to those, WCS fifth grade students choose between Chorus and Band.
WCS elementary teachers further enrich student learning by occasionally integrating technology into their lesson plans. Such technology integration might involve using digital light projectors for presentations in regular classrooms, directing students to apply Microsoft Office skills in a project, or accessing information from the World Wide Web. Students have supervised access to at least one laptop computer in each classroom and to the computer terminals in the technology lab. WCS subscribes to a strong web filter and allows students to access sites specifically approved by the faculty and administration.
WCS also offers after-school enrichment opportunities for students through ASPIRE (After School Program for Instructional and Recreational Enrichment). |
