Welcome to CSDR Elementary, Home of the Cubs, where children are encouraged

to reach their personal best and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Currently we house approximately 77 students in grades first through fifth.

The Elementary program provides educationally rich and challenging

experiences for our students, as we work as a school community to teach

using the high level essential state standards for Language Arts,

Mathematics, History-Social Science, Science, and Visual and Performing

Arts. In addition, our caring and experienced team of professionals, work

very hard to individualize instruction and provide a quality education

for all of our students.

Our Elementary staff continues to participate in ASL/English Bilingual

Professional Development (AEBPD) training with an emphasis on development

and learning of both first and second languages. ASL/English bilingual

teaching theories, practices and methodology are skillfully infused into our

daily lessons and instruction. A Dual language approach is emphasized, ASL

in signing and English in writing.

We are proud to offer our students additional educational opportunities to

develop their full potential. Technology curriculum, I-Mac lab, Accelerated

Mathematics, Reading Counts, Character Counts, and Meet the Masters Art,

are programs which continue to increase student performance.

Our Elementary Department is one that encourages children to be responsible

learners, who care about themselves, their community and others.
