Our next stop is Cesar Chavez Elementary School named after the renowned labor leader and civil rights activist.
Cesar Chavez Elementary offers some amazing opportunities for students on the South side with:
-A professional STEAM program (the approach to learning that uses Science,Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking).
- Bilingual education to support the area’s diverse population.
- 5th Grade Band, 4th through 5th Grade Guitar, and an accomplished 21st Century Schools program to assist at-need students beyond the classroom.
The White Tigers also offer a standards-based literacy program focused on ensuring that students become biliterate/bilingual by 5th grade. Science and social studies are organized around themes to create student interest in learning while respecting and honoring each child’s voice, personal life experience, beliefs, language and culture. Groups like MathAmigos and Los Alamos National Labs help to inspire students to love math and support their active participation in scientific practices.
César Chávez implements PAX, a self-regulation program that teaches students to stay on task in the classroom, promotes peace, productivity, health and happiness and supports social-emotional learning. Support services include SFPS’ Volunteer Program, Foster Grandparents, Reading Quest, which provides joyful, quality reading tutoring for striving readers, PMS behavioral health, Gerard’s House, a center for grieving kids and families, Adelante, providing advocacy, direct support services and basic needs services for children, teens and their families experiencing homelessness, and Poder Familiar/Abriendo Puertos (Earth Care), providing support for families on the development and learning process of their children. Extracurricular activities include boys and girls basketball, wrestling and the Student Council.
Cesar Chavez’s White Tigers are an exemplary group of faculty that support their students on several levels and prepare them for the next steps in their academic career!
The Board of Education is looking for your input on the redistricting of school board member boundaries! This is NOT the rezoning of schools, the change is only to the boundaries of school board members.
