Mission Statement:
The mission of Coburg Elementary School is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where all members of the community can grow to their full academic, emotional and social potential.
Program Description:
As a small school, Coburg offers the appeal of small class sizes and the essentials to help every child succeed. At Coburg Elementary, we can say that the staff truly knows each child. A proud landmark in the historic city of Coburg, the school is a focus of community support. A Ford Family Foundation grant keeps the school active after-hours for community classes and functions.
School Highlights:
  • Early literacy emphasis: Coburg has prioritized resources to provide small group reading instruction to all students in grades K–5 with progress monitoring and instructional interventions as needed.
  • Specialist time: 1st- to 5th-grade students at Coburg receive two days of physical education instruction each week. An ELL specialist supports eligible students in developing English skills.
  • On-site preschool: There is a preschool program on site for 3- and 4-year-olds. Most of our kindergarten class comes directly from the preschool, giving many of our students seven or eight years in the same building.
  • Coburg Community Connections: Through the Ford Family Foundation, Coburg Elementary School has community and after-school activities in which all of our students and community members may participate.
  • Extensive hands-on science curriculum, augmented by a state technology grant to increase and improve technology in our school.
School Improvement Goals:
  • Strengthen the literacy program and instructional intervention strategies so that all students achieve and maintain foundational skills as well as mastering appropriate levels of fluency, vocabulary and comprehension
  • Improve the written language instruction for all students by providing a viable, articulated writing curriculum and the infusion of technology throughout the curriculum
  • Use strategies that will enhance all students' capabilities in computation and problem solving; monitor and evaluate math instruction, strategies and materials as aligned with the new math standards
  • Continue to provide multicultural opportunities through the Chinese student exchange program, artist-in-residence program and school assemblies with a multicultural focus
  • Provide an environment that fosters student success through use of the Positive Behavior Support (PBS) system
Other Information:
Coburg Elementary School staff and students, supported by the parent group People for Coburg School, continue to make progress toward our goal of integrating the use of technology in the daily curriculum. Staff and students are utilizing computers, projection systems and SMART Boards to expand and increase student reading, math and writing skills.
