Aloha! Welcome to Marblehead Elementary School. Marblehead opened its
doors in fall 2001. Situated on the highlands in northern
San Clemente adjacent to a neighborhood park, Capistrano
Unified’s
first two-story elementary school is of a unique design.
Glimpses of the ocean can be viewed from several locations.
The
staff of Marblehead is committed to being continual learners
as well as teachers. Current research in instructional strategies
and brain-based learning is studied and applied to lesson
planning. Without exception, every teacher participates
in continuing education.
Capistrano
Objectives for Reaching Excellence (CORE) and California
standards serve as the educational foundation. Basic skills
in reading, language arts and mathematics are integrated
throughout social studies, art and science. Phonics skills
and literature are both an important part of the reading
curriculum.
Technology,
an essential tool of learning, is available both in the
classroom and in a lab setting. Internet research and digital
photography are utilized on a regular basis. Every teacher
is equipped with a laptop computer to enhance teaching and
data access.
The
PTA at Marblehead is extremely active. Volunteers are visible
in every classroom. The PTA assists with field trips, and
sponsors the Family Fun Night and the student talent show.
Marblehead Elementary will continue to focus on establishing
ties with the parents and community. Relationships with
feeder schools, service organizations, law enforcement and
community programs will become an ongoing legacy.
The
Marblehead Aloha Spirit embraces all children. The staff
believes that all students are gifted in different ways.
As the culture of Marblehead unfolds, children, teachers,
parents and the community are working together to academically
prepare and enrich the lives of students.
