Program Description:
Parker Elementary starts its day with a strong emphasis on the academics. Students master skills in mathematics and are able to apply them. We strive to instill a love of reading and a passion for expression through writing. Our mornings are dedicated to core curriculum. The afternoon includes an elective program, called Interest Groups, based on teacher strengths and student interests. Choices incorporate Art, Science and Literature. First through Fifth graders have Spanish five days a week, Kinders three days. Our students successfully move on to middle and high school Spanish. Parker offers several exciting after school opportunities for children such as Creative Care, Chess Club, Choir and Dance.
School Highlights:
  • A blend of developmental and academic Kindergarten with a Kindergarten Extended Year (KEY) program. We have the most energetic, dynamic, and professional teaching team in the district
  • Emphasis on literacy and math taught in groupings based on student need and ability, using brain friendly educational strategies; enrichment opportunities are offered through Interest groups
  • A strong belief in shaping a well rounded student; Parker continues to value P.E. and Music and have made staffing decisions that allow us to keep these programs at the highest level possible
  • Building strong community through cross graded teaching and learning in Interest Groups as well as school wide celebrations and events
