Kindergarten through 5
Aloha! Welcome to Marblehead Elementary
School. Marblehead opened its doors
in fall 2001. The long-awaited campus
houses approximately 540 students. 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. Our founding staff of
21 teachers range in experience from 4-to-32 years of teaching.
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. It was also instrumental
in the successful dedication of the school on November 16, 2001.
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.
