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.
