Magnet Program

Program Overview
Our magnet program is focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We are a school-wide program and serve all students in grades Kindergarten through Grade 5. Students receive instruction from specialists on a rotational schedule for 55 minutes in the areas of math & engineering, and environmental science. Our instructional programming engages students in problem-solving and independent critical-thinking while emphasizing laboratory exploration and hands-on activities.*The School Choice Fair, on April 29, 2023, will be for schools that still have space available.
