Foundations

At Suy:u Elementary students are taught the Common Core Standards and Lifeskills using a variety of resources.  

• Teachers use a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach to ensure all students have access to the curriculum.
• Multiple approaches that challenge students to work both collaboratively and independently 
• Student learn conceptual math before procedural math.
• Students are held to rigorous outcomes.
• Students demonstrate learning through various modes including ipads, laptops., and touch screen computers.
• Students have access to a wealth of books in our newly remodeled library 
• Reader’s Workshop and Writer’s workshop are used to build and foster a passion for reading a love of writing.  
• The Leader in Me and PBIS are used to help foster and nurture Socio-Emotional Learning and build success and independence traits.  When students learn to control their emotions, it opens the gateway for learning. 
• Leadership skills are encouraged through Student Council, student jobs, and throughout the day.  Students are encouraged to make decisions on behalf of the school that will help bring forth positive change.
