SRES Classrooms

At Springs Ranch Elementary School, we are an interdependent team of lifelong learners that includes parents, teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, students and community members, with the common goal of educating the whole child. Our decisions are based on the best interests of students. We use data to drive instruction, best practices, and differentiated instruction. We believe that all students are capable of success. Our communication is positive, solution-oriented, and respectful of differences.

Springs Ranch Elementary staff members implement programs and curricular components to address the Colorado state standards and curricular maps that will be developed at the district and zone levels. Our leadership team and staff have the liberty to make curricular and instructional decisions that are in alignment with our educational plan, state standards, goals and appropriate grade level instruction. This includes establishing an educational program, textbook, supplemental and assessment adoption aligned with state standards.

Intervention time is built into the school day to help students needing remediation or extension opportunities to improve their achievement. This sometimes requires the altering of start and end times or altering the school calendar to accommodate needs for intervention. It may also mean hiring support staff to supplement teacher interventions as resources become available.

Our teachers focus on integrating 21st century skills across their curriculum to increase student preparation for future educational opportunities and the world of work. This includes, but is not limited to, the increased use of technology (SMART boards, computer applications, etc.) as resources become available.
