Healdsburg Elementary School

Healdsburg Elementary School is a K-5 school on two campuses. Healdsburg Elementary School (HES) serves students in transitional-kindergarten through second grade and Fitch Mountain Campus (FMC) serves students in grades third through fifth. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation to meet the needs of all of our students. In this spirit, we are excited about the combining of two effective instructional models at Healdsburg Elementary School.

The Blended Learning program uses a specialization model where all students in grades 1-5 have two teachers; one Humanities Specialist and one STEM Specialist. The Humanities teacher focuses on language arts and social studies and the STEM teacher primarily focuses on math and science with technology and engineering infused in the curriculum as much as possible.

We use a Station Rotation model where our students rotate through learning stations working in small groups, both individually and teacher directed to provide a personalized approach that is differentiated for each student. This approach results in more student interaction and production and thus improves student engagement dramatically. Proven English Language Development strategies and methods that help in the development of reading, writing and speaking for our English learners will be employed in all of our classrooms.

Core academics are strengthened with an enrichment program during the school day for all students. Weekly enrichment classes allow students to explore activities such as music, art, lego robotics, nutrition/garden and fitness.

Healdsburg Elementary School, in partnership with families and the Healdsburg community, creates a learning environment where all students are expected to achieve excellence in academics. Students develop socially and emotionally within a safe and nurturing environment where they are supported in their development as young learners.
