Learning at Rosa Parks

At Rosa Parks Elementary, our mission is to provide all students with a prescriptive, challenging, and differentiated standards-based education. We work in close collaboration with staff, families, and our community to ensure students reach grade-level proficiency in a safe, clean, and stimulating environment.

Rigorous Academics

We offer a standards-based curriculum designed to challenge and inspire our TK–6 learners. Our dedicated educators focus on building strong foundations in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, ensuring students are ready for the academic demands of the 21st century.

Our instruction emphasizes:

  • Critical thinking and problem-solving

  • Real-world learning opportunities

  • Technology integration across subjects

  • Collaboration and creativity

Through strategic planning, ongoing professional development, and daily interventions, our team ensures that all students — including English Learners and students with disabilities — are equipped for long-term success.

Focus Areas of Instruction

  • Reading & Writing:
    Emphasis on small group instruction, reading comprehension strategies, and writing development with a strong focus on academic language.

  • Mathematics:
    Lessons integrate hands-on learning using manipulatives to build a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and skills.

  • Standards-Based Learning:
    Instruction is continuously refined to meet the rigor and expectations of the Common Core, ensuring students are prepared for success in the next grade level and beyond.

Ongoing Assessment

Student achievement is measured through:

  • Benchmark assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics

  • Regular progress monitoring to inform instruction and identify student needs

  • Adjustments to instruction based on assessment results and teacher observation

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports)

Rosa Parks, a Gold award-winning PBIS school, is proud to offer wraparound support programs that nurture social-emotional development and ensure all students are ready to learn.

We are grounded in four core beliefs that shape everything we do:

  • Be Safe

  • Be a Learner

We also provide on-site support to promote emotional well-being for students and families through our Mental Health Collaborative.

Family & Community Engagement

  • Parent workshops and academic meetings

  • School Advisory Council and Title I meetings

  • Opportunities to connect with teachers and staff regularly
