Boggy Creek Elementary School - Culture & Linguistic Diversity, Dual Language

The Mill Creek Gators is a student-centered family of learners, working together to ensure every student is safe and has the best opportunity to succeed in our diverse community. Following its Environmental Management and Energy program, students engage in eco-friendly activities focused in understanding the structure and the functioning of the environment, the Earth, and how humans fit in. The goal is to inspire students to be conscientious about their background, reflect on their everyday actions and to develop the ability to make thoughtful decisions to create an environment that allows all to live the best quality life. The energy and environmental focus promote outdoor learning experiences, project-based enrichment opportunities and increases real-world connections while igniting the student’s innovative thinking skills.

The agriculture science program promotes a better understanding of the living environment, research, and training on the development of the agricultural productivity and farming. Students will study animals - their habits, their traits, and their roles in the environment. Learners become critical thinkers, make cross-curricular connections, and increase supplemental experiences while creating a positive and safe school environment to ensure that our students are successful academically and emotionally. The agri-animal science program allows students to have direct interaction with nature when growing and harvesting crops and raising and caring for animals as part of their curricular activities. Sunrise Elementary is harvesting the future zoologist and botanists of our community.

The teachers and staff at Ventura Elementary work diligently to promote a positive, student-centered learning environment, focusing on helping students grow academically, behaviorally, and socially. Lessons are focused on college and career readiness and designed to make learning hands-on, collaborative, and inquiry based. Ventura provides students the opportunity to prepare for college and career through our AVID program (Advancement Via Individual Determination) and become bilingual and bi-literate through our Dual Language Program. This school year, we are adding a Medical Science and Technology learning track so that all students, K-5, can learn about fitness, wellness, sports medicine, coding, cybersecurity, and robotics. Our goal is to foster a love for learning and guide students in preparing for college and careers.
