Expanding Opportunities for Our K-5 Students

Signature Programming at SACS Elementary Schools

As part of SACS’ ongoing initiative to Expanding Choice. Embracing Choice, we are excited to share that we are exploring ways to expand learning opportunities for our elementary students by developing Signature Programs within our schools. These programs will be designed to provide unique educational experiences that inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and build strong foundations for future success.

These Signature Programs reflect one of our key initiatives to be the District of Choice — a place where every family finds learning pathways that best fit their child’s interests, talents, and future goals all within our schools.

Learning from the Best to Build Opportunities for Our Students

As part of our commitment to expanding opportunities for students, our team has visited schools recognized for their strong and innovative programming. These visits have allowed us to see classrooms in action, where students are deeply engaged in hands-on learning, and to learn directly from educators admnistrators who have successfully implemented similar models.

Our goal is to understand what makes these programs thrive and how we can bring those kinds of learning opportunities to our own schools in ways that best serve our students and community.

While no decisions have been made, we are working with an ambitious timeline to explore and design programs that reflect the needs and interests of our families. As we move forward, your voice is essential.

We invite you to share your thoughts and priorities as we continue this exciting process of shaping the future of learning in our district. Below are key types of schools within school programming we are currently looking at:
