Leschi Program Changes 2020-21
Posted on 05/31/2020
During the 2019-2020 school year, Leschi Elementary submitted a yearly “math waiver”. The “math waiver” has allowed Leschi Elementary to use the Montessori Math model instead of the District-approved curriculum. As of the spring 2020, the math waiver for Leschi was denied. As a result of the denial, Leschi will discontinue the Montessori Math curriculum and begin teaching the Math in Focus curriculum or another district-approved and standards aligned curriculum.
In the fall of 2020, Leschi classrooms will be restructured into single grade levels, with a single teacher working within a grade level team. Teachers will have standalone classrooms. All our classroom instructors will be using the Center for the Collaborative Classroom curriculum (CCC) for literacy and Zearn math curriculum.
Many things will stay the same: a caring staff that always wants to give meaningful instruction and emotional support for our scholars and families.
Below are the current instructional staff by grade level for the 2020-2021 school year.
