About Us
-
Glen Cove Elementary School serves a culturally and linguistically diverse community of approximately 450 learners in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through grade five (5). The site also houses State Child Development and Preschool programs In addition, our site includes a chorus program, visual and performing arts studio, a STEAM lab, and an enthusiastic and caring support staff who lead our students in activities throughout the day.
The Glen Cove Elementary staff is a group of dedicated, qualified educators, creating a professional learning community where weekly collaboration meetings focus on data analysis and best instructional practices. Glen Cove Elementary School utilizes a variety of resources that allow the school staff to constantly grow as educators with the goal of improving academic achievement for all students.
The majority of our teachers are fully trained in Project GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design, which is a student-centered curricular model of over 40 teaching strategies that support all learners in academic language acquisition, literacy, and content knowledge attainment. GLAD trained teachers ensure students are actively engaged in the learning process and develop inquiry skills that expand their learning and develop key social skills.
At Glen Cove Elementary, we follow three very important personal standards in everything we do: Make Good Decisions, Solve Problems and Show Respect. By explicitly teaching, reinforcing, and reviewing these expectations, students learn how to take responsibility for their learning as well as their behavior so they are consistently successful both in and out of the classroom.
