K-5 Teaching Team

Learning Models

Grades 3 through 5 are following the expert subject matter model, with Brian Goff teaching all Literacy Classes, Rebecca Hamilton covering all the Math classes and Lorri Swanson teaching all the Social Studies and Science classes. The students rotate in 75 minute blocks 4 days a week. Teachers in Kindergarten-Grace Dostert, Grade 1-Rachel Post, and Grade 2-Kendra Lewis, teach self-contained classes. Revised report cards based on the Common Core Standards and Parent Conferences occur twice a year to help record and evaluate a student's progress.

We offer a complete spectrum of elementary services, including Title I, ELL (English Language Learners), LAP (Learning Assistance Program), Special Education, and Response to Intervention (RtI).

"Every child needs a hug a day. At this school, we deliver. It's a place where warmth and caring are as important as test scores."  —Bill Evans, Former Lopez Island School District Superintendent
