About Our School

Central Avenue School offers regular instruction in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, reading, physical education, art and vocal music. District-wide efforts to meet Common Core standards continue. In the area of mathematics, emphasis focused on development, instructional practice and evaluation of problem-solving abilities; calculator use; and the mastery of computational skills through our Math In Focus Program. Problem-solving evaluation consists of pre- and post-assessments and portfolio activities. Writing workshop settings resulting in language arts portfolios, combined with skill instruction, demonstrate our efforts to meet language arts/literacy standards. Strategies for reading fiction and non-fiction help students attain those standards as well. Authentic performance-based science assessments provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of science facts and concepts, as well as their application of scientific inquiry learned in our elementary science program.
