Our Instructional Programs

The curriculum covers a full range of academic and elective courses including: agribusiness, business, careers, challenge (gifted and advanced placement), computers/technology, driver education, English as a second language, family and consumer sciences, foreign languages/cultures, health, industrial technology, language arts (including listening, reading, writing, and speaking), mathematics, Montessori, music (vocal/instrumental), physical education, science, social studies, Title 1/Reading Recovery, and visual arts. We encourage integration of subject areas and infusion of multicultural studies when applicable.

Special education programs fulfill the needs of emotionally, physically and mentally handicapped youth; the homebound; and specific learning disabled. School districts in Nebraska must provide an education for handicapped persons from birth through age 21 or program completion. Children who benefit from the program offered may have one or more of the following handicaps: behaviorally disordered, deaf/hearing impaired, mentally handicapped (mild, moderate, or severe/profound), blind or visually impaired, multihandicapped, orthopedically impaired, other health impaired, specific learning disabled, or speech-language impaired. Children may participate in regular classroom activities with special support services, or may benefit more from a special classroom.

In addition to academics, our district provides programs that serve student needs such as: drug/alcohol awareness, guidance services, hot lunches, instructional television, library skills, School-Age Child Care (SACC-before/after school child care), TeamMates, self-esteem programs, etc. The district also offers a variety of extracurricular activities.

The Norfolk district is proud of the educational services provided our youth. Such an outstanding program is possible only through the involvement and cooperation of parents, volunteers, local business/industry personnel, service and fraternal clubs, and other patrons of our district. We acknowledge and appreciate their contributions.
