About Us
Breckenridge Elementary School is a great place to learn and grow!
We offer an environment that cares about the whole child. Services to help support our students include: special education, Title 1, speech, ECFE, two full-time mental health service providers (a social worker and counselor), Native American liaison, Reading Corps, and many more!\ Our Science of Reading-based approach to literacy instruction ensures that all students develop strong foundational reading skills through explicit, systematic instruction. Teachers use the I-do, we-do, you-do model to provide direct instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, gradually releasing responsibility to students as they build mastery. Regular assessments guide targeted instruction, and teachers confer with students to support their reading development with evidence-based strategies while fostering engagement through appropriately leveled and content-rich texts. \ Our Studio 5 and 6 classrooms are 21st century classrooms that help students make connections to instruction through real-life activities, experiences and cooperative group work. Teachers in these classrooms co-teach throughout the day to model for students how to work cooperatively.\ K-6 classrooms encourage an active classroom setting that allows for flexible seating, groupings, and learning throughout the school day.\ We offer a free breakfast program to all students in PreK-8. Healthy snack choices for our K-2nd graders direct from the kitchen for these students during their snack breaks. A strong wellness committee encourages and supports healthy life choices that include food choices and physical activity.\ Our goal here is to make sure that all students are inspired to excel and develop the desire to be life-long learners.
