Dual Language

A Focus on Dual Language
The Dual Language model at Edwards Elementary is a balanced model of instruction in both English and Spanish. Dual Language continues to be a program of choice for parents and their children. Since students participating in this program will have home languages of both English and Spanish, one group of children will always be learning in their second language.

The Dual Language Instructional Program utilizes a variety of concrete and printed materials, technology, and sheltering strategies, combined with a strong focus on building individual skills in all academic areas.

Features of the Instructional Program include:

Scheduled and separate use of each language.
Development of second language through hands-on and experiential activities.
Development of second language through literacy-based activities.
Structured and sequential English as a Second Language (ESL) and Spanish as a Second Language (SSL) instruction.
Native language instruction in reading and writing.
Math, Science and Social Studies instruction in integrated language groups, delivered in English and Spanish.
Music, Art, Physical Education, Technology and Library Studies to be delivered in English.
Small groups and individualized instruction.
Team teaching and collaboration between two teachers to provide all content instruction with authentic language models.

Behavior Expectations

A: Accept responsibility
W: Work hard
S: Show respect

ECS Elementary
Behavior Policy

The goal of Eagle County Elementary Schools is to create a positive, caring atmosphere where all children and adults feel respected as a valued member of our school communities. The desired result is to have a safe, nurturing, and creative environment where both the students and the staff feel enthusiastic about learning and sharing ideas. We need to set and maintain high expectations for all students both academically and behaviorally. Children will do what they think we expect them to do. We not only need to educate our children academically, but we need to prepare them with listening and positive communication skills. In addition, we need to educate students on how to be compassionate and caring individuals who we are proud to have in our school communities. It is imperative that we create an atmosphere where children feel positive about themselves and their accomplishments.

Promoting Positive Behavior
Behavior management is a collaborative effort by parents, guardians, students, and staff. All Eagle County Elementary Schools have supports for positive behavior. Mistakes are a natural part of growth. We help students reflect on errors in judgment and behavior and support them in learning how to make better decisions. We teach and model positive behavior including listening, cooperation, and mutual respect. We encourage students to make independent decisions and act responsibly towards others and with property.
When this occurs, we believe that a very positive and productive learning environment will result, enabling students to strive for excellence.

District Behavior Policies
Please see Policies Regarding Student Behavior for specifics regarding various student behaviors.

Primarias de ECS
Política de Conducta

El objetivo de las Escuelas Primarias del Condado Eagle es crear una atmósfera positiva y afectuosa donde todos los niños y adultos se sientan respetados como miembros valiosos de nuestras comunidades escolares. El resultado deseado es tener un entorno seguro, enriquecedor y creativo en el que tanto los alumnos como el personal se sientan entusiasmados por el aprendizaje y el intercambio de ideas. Necesitamos establecer y mantener altas expectativas para todos los estudiantes tanto académicas como conductuales. Los niños harán lo que creen que esperamos que hagan. No solo necesitamos educar a nuestros hijos académicamente, sino que debemos prepararlos para escuchar y para comunicarnos positivamente. Además, debemos educar a los estudiantes sobre cómo ser personas compasivas y afectuosas de las cuales estamos orgullosos de tener en nuestras comunidades escolares. Es imperativo que creemos una atmósfera donde los niños se sientan positivos de sí mismos y de sus logros.

Para promover la conducta positiva
El manejo de la conducta es un esfuerzo de colaboración entre padres, tutores, estudiantes y personal. Todas las Escuelas Primarias del Condado Eagle tienen las bases para un comportamiento positivo. Los errores son una parte natural del crecimiento. Ayudamos a los estudiantes a reflexionar sobre los errores de juicio y comportamiento y los apoyamos para que aprendan a tomar mejores decisiones. Enseñamos y demostramos conductas positivas que incluyen escuchar, cooperar y respetarnos mutuamente. Alentamos a los estudiantes a tomar decisiones independientes y actuar con responsabilidad hacia los demás y con propiedad.
Cuando esto ocurre, creemos que se generará un entorno de aprendizaje muy positivo y productivo, que permitirá a los estudiantes esforzarse por alcanzar la excelencia.

Parent Teacher Association

The focus of the Edwards Elementary PTA is providing support and enrichment to all teachers, staff, children, and families at our school. At the beginning of the year, we all work hard on the annual fundraiser, Wild West Day. Wild West Days is a fun-filled family event in September, which is held at 4 Eagle Ranch. This event funds the majority (over 80%) of our PTA budget. This year we raised about $20,000!

Throughout the year PTA parents volunteer by helping with lunch and recess duties, library support, classroom help, teacher appreciation and special projects such as the Reflections art program; the Holiday Giving Tree, Sunshine Math, healthy snacks program, special assemblies, field trips, family events and more.

PTA is also responsible for purchasing many school necessities such as classroom books and supplies, playground and PE equipment, art and music supplies, library resources and much more.

We have bi-cultural/bi-lingual PTA representation at our school and meetings. Our PTA meetings take place the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM in the school library. Childcare is provided for children over 4.

We encourage families and teachers to join PTA to help us build a strong school community, to learn about what's going on at school, make new friends, and to be a bigger part of our student's education. PTA Membership costs $7.00 and checks can be made payable to Edwards Elementary PTA.
