School Program Features
The following is a brief description of some of the unique experiences offered at Longfellow Spanish Immersion School:
Full Day Kindergarten
Kindergarten students attend school on the same schedule as the older students. This program is designed to help transition young students to the rigors of a full day with developmentally appropriate educational activities to facilitate reading, writing and math readiness for the first grade.
Library
Our library is available for children to extend their reading and library skills. Our library assistant will be sending home information during the first week of school on how your child and you can use and support the library. The library is always in need of parent volunteers to help shelf books and help students during their library visits. Please contact the school if you are interested. Longfellow holds a Scholastic Book Fair during the year where parents and students can purchase quality Spanish and English books and help support the library.
Instrumental Music Program
A district-sponsored program brings instrumental instructors to the school to give instrumental music lessons to all students in grade 5. Instrumental music is a component of the California State Framework in the Visual and Performing Arts. Students' accomplishments are celebrated at the end of each six-week instrumental session by inviting their families to see them perform an informal concert.
