K-5 Teaching Team

Learning Models

Grades 4 and 5 are following the expert subject matter model, , Rebecca Hamilton covering all the Math classes and Literacy/Social Studies Grade 5 and Lorri Swanson teaching all the Science classes and Literacy/Social Studies Grade 4. The students rotate in 75 minute blocks 4 days a week. Teachers in Kindergarten-Grace Dostert, Grade 1-Rachel Post,  Grade 2-Kendra Lewis, and Grade 3-Brian Goff 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
