CONSTELLATION SCHOOLS: PURITAS COMMUNITY ELEMENTARY - Ohio School District

About School District: In the summer of 2003, Puritas Community Elementary was only a vision. The building we now occupy was a shell of a former furniture store, without walls, a floor, or even running water. We now have 200 students in grades kindergarten through fourth with several families anxious to become a part of this growth. The growth can be attributed to the many helping hands we have had from our professional and dedicated staff, the support of our Board of Education, and to the tireless efforts of our parent organization, the Puritas A+. At Puritas Community Elementary, we strive: To provide an atmosphere of caring and concern for the well being of each student; To assist children with learning difficulties by offering individual attention; To limit class sizes maintaining a workable student/teacher ratio; To provide a sense of growth through special activities, such as, the 100th Day of School Celebration, Puritas Pals Day, music programs, book fairs, and much more: To offer areas of enrichment through field trips and assemblies. To ensure its students are prepared for the state mandated Proficiency Tests, Puritas Community Elementary (PTCE) chose the Ohio Academic Content Standards Educational Program as the basis for its Curriculum. The PTCE program includes language arts, social studies, citizenship, sciences, mathematics, art, music and physical education. Saxon Phonics, along with the adoption of the Harcourt Trophies Series, helps to increase students' success in early literacy. Art is integrated throughout the curriculum through a variety of opportunities to explore different materials and tools. Children are invited to enjoy art as a process rather than a means to a finished product. Drawing, painting, printing, collage, chalking, and stenciling are only a few of the art activities students enjoy at PTCE. The children participate in a variety of field trips to further enhance the curriculum. In the past, field trips to Playhouse Square, the Zoo and Rainforest, and a trip to Educational Days at an Akron Aeros Baseball game for our fourth and fifth graders, are just a few of the fun things our students enjoyed.
