The Office of Elementary Education oversees the day-to-day operations and provides instructional support to 9,854 students in 22 elementary schools and 3 alternative programs across the District.

 

All elementary schools offer opportunities for students to achieve the core requirements and provide support for families in the academic and social development of children.

 

The Syracuse City School District elementary schools are committed to all students meeting and exceeding the New York State Learning Standards and provide daily instruction in:

 

· Reading, writing, listening and speaking across all content areas

· Mathematical thinking, problem solving, and skill acquisition

· Content and procedural instruction in science, social studies and health

· Higher-order thinking skills integrated across content areas

 

Special subject areas are an integral part of the elementary school experience. Instruction in vocal music, instrumental music, art and physical education provide a well-rounded experience for all students. In addition, student-centered Library Media Centers in each school, staffed by licensed professionals, serve as a focal point for literacy.
