North Delta Elementary
North Delta Elementary School includes students in kindergarten through fifth grade. We serve these students in a modern building by a talented slate of veteran elementary teachers.
Each year, our elementary classes earn phenomenal scores on Stanford Achievement Tests, often scoring over a full year above their actual grade level!
Curriculum and Assessments
We use A Beka's demanding math curriculum throughout North Delta Elementary.
Our kindergarten classroom uses A Beka Reading and Writing with Phonics to teach beginning reading and writing skills. First and second grade teachers employ McGraw-Hill's Reading Wonders series called Treasures. Intermediate grades use Treasures as well as a blend of exciting chapter books and Houghton Mifflin's tried-and-true literacy program.
We welcome all parents to review our teaching materials or to contact our teachers with questions.
Testing
We use a variety of in-class assessments to track student growth and teacher effectiveness. Students in elementary school may experience quizzes and end-of-unit or chapter tests but will never be given a final exam. We regularly evaluate math and language proficiency; reading comprehension; writing, spelling, and handwriting progress; science acquisition; and social studies understanding.
Extracurricular Activities
A lot of learning happens in elementary school outside the classroom. Weekly at North Delta, your child(ren) will participate in extra learning opportunities through:
- Art
- Bible
- Computers
- Dance - Becky Nickle
- Library
- Physical Education
We also occasionally enjoy:
- Holiday Parties
- We may contact parents to help plan and/or pay for these events, but we will never ask a family to contribute more than $15.
- Field Trips
- Field trips extend classroom learning and help students connect what they are learning to the real world. To participate, students must return a parent-signed and dated permission slip prior to each trip.
- Grandparents Day
- Each year, we invite our students’ grandparents to campus for an afternoon of fun and refreshments.
- D.A.R.E.
- Batesville police conducts our annual D.A.R.E. program for second through fifth graders.
