Spalding Elementary is an elementary school that follows a modified calendar schedule. Spalding is now a Math and Technology Magnet School where we emphasize instruction using more math and technology. We have 690 students that are enrolled this year. Spalding also consists of a preschool program and challenge center.
Spalding will continue its work with the DMT (Developing Mathematical Thinking) math focus. This DMT process encourages students to solve problems using a variety of mathematical strategies. Spalding teachers have been trained over the last three years on how students develop mathematical ideas over time and how they can build a learning environment that will support this type of math instruction. Spalding teachers are more knowledgeable about mathematics and are much more excited about teaching math. All of this additional training in math has been possible thanks to a grant from the Micron Foundation.
Spalding continues to build a variety of technology items that help support the learning environment. Spalding has an audio/video lab, a broadcasting studio, several smartboards, and four mini laptops carts with each cart holding 30 laptops. Each teacher has a projector, five computers and a document camera. Spalding has a continuum of learning with technology where each grade level is exposed to more technology. Also, students will be developing a digital portfolio of technological assignments. Spalding continues to apply for grants so more technology can be provided for our students.
Spalding is a choice school that continues to provide an enriched program that is innovative and makes learning fun! We accept students by application only. Applications can be found on line or at our front office.
