More about curriculum

Technology

A goal of the Laveen Elementary School District is to accelerate the use of technology to support student achievement by providing a 1:1 student to device ratio and by providing resources and training to integrate technology into curriculum and instruction. Each of our campuses has classroom sets of student devices in every grade level, consisting of iPads or Chromebooks. All students have a computer user account, which can be accessed from both school and at home to share documents and projects with other classmates and the teacher. Much of our current technology for student learning was funded by the capital override passed by Laveen voters in 2012.

Extracurricular Activities

In addition to the many programs and services Laveen provides, our schools offer a number of extracurricular activities to further engage our students. Clubs across Laveen schools include, but are not limited to, National Junior Honor Society, music, art, chess, student council, and drama. All schools in the Laveen Elementary School District participate in the Intramural Sports Program. Athletics include boys & girls basketball, football, soccer, softball, and volleyball.

Parental Involvement

Laveen believes parental involvement is paramount to a student’s success. Laveen schools offer numerous opportunities for parents and guardians to become involved in their child’s school. Each of our schools have a parent/teacher organization (PTO). PTO’s are responsible for many of the activities and fundraising programs on our campus. Parents are encouraged to volunteer their time on the PTO’s various committees to help support the school. Events include the carnivals, winter programs, talent shows, class trips, and family nights.

Positive Climate

In the Laveen Elementary School District, we believe it is the right of every student to be educated in a positive, safe, and caring environment. These traits maximize student achievement, foster student personal growth, and help a student build a sense of community that promotes positive participation as citizens in society.
