Students in grades 6-8 are serviced through their related arts. Students in grades K-2 are serviced weekly begining in January. Letters for students in grades 3-7 are sent to parents of qualifying students by the school principal in August. Letters for students in grades K-2 are sent to parents of qualifying students in December.
Whole Group Lessons
Teachers may request whole class lessons to be taught by the enrichment teacher. Whole class lessons are available at all grade levels at the request of the homeroom teacher as the EP teacher's schedule permits.
