Students, grades KG - 10th, take part in art, music and physical education classes each week. Our technology specialist supports students and teachers as they integrate the use of technology with the academic curriculum. Our school librarian helps students access books, print and digital materials that are available in our online drive. There is one computer lab with 30 plus laptops.
