Schaffner Traditional Elementary

We will provide a comprehensive approach to teaching the whole child through physical, social, emotional, and intellectual work. This will be achieved within a highly structured school environment where high expectations of students is a daily requirement. Consistent with the JCPS core values of instruction, we will use manipulatives and engage students in hands-on activities through small-group instruction while facilitating many student- directed structured learning activities. Additionally, we will concentrate on many foundational pillars of fundamental concepts and standards in rich and rigorous methods of teaching and learning. As always, our goal at Schaffner is to be on the “cutting edge” of instruction each and every year!
