Welcome to the Penn Kidder Campus K-8 School!
Thank
you for visiting the Penn-Kidder Campus K-8 School. At the Penn-Kidder
Campus we serve grades Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, house two
intermediate unit classrooms and a pre-kindergarten program. We provide
our students excellent instruction throughout the day. We also provide
after-school programs that include academic tutoring, enrichment
activities and sports. Our students are engaged in stimulating
instruction and learning opportunities to help them develop socially,
academically, and emotionally.
We
provide a secure, safe climate that ensures lifelong learners in our
global community. Our instruction is guided by state and district
standards while at the same time allowing our staff the freedom to teach
relevant topics to our students. Our assessments are ongoing and
supported with district-provided testing materials that gauge what is
being taught in the classrooms. Our core belief is that "All Children
Can and Will Learn."
Our
staff has established learning goals for the year and consistently
collaborate to improve and guide their instruction of our children. We
provide a nurturing, warm place that strives to make our school family
oriented and a friendly place to be. We are a community committed to
cultivating peace. We teach all of our students to be socially
responsible and to attain excellence by engaging them in a world-class
