| Wolf Swamp Road School Wolf Swamp Road School serves approximately 415 students in prekindergarten through 5th grade. We offer four half-day preschool sessions and three full-day kindergarten classes as well as three sections in each grade level (1st through 5th). We provide a variety of regular education and special education programs to provide academic support, remediation, and/or enrichment to students based on their individual learning needs. Our art, physical education, library, technology, and music programs (music, band, orchestra, chorus) foster the development of the whole child and complement the classroom curriculum. The mission of Wolf Swamp Road School is to provide a safe, caring, respectful learning community that encourages every child to achieve his or her learning potential. Wolf Swamp Road School is a Responsive Classroom school. The RC approach to teaching emphasizes academic, social, and emotional growth in a strong school community. Every staff member at Wolf Swamp Road School has been trained in the philosophies of Responsive Classroom. An important practice from RC that happens every day at Wolf Swamp is morning meeting. Everyone in the classroom gathers in a circle for twenty to thirty minutes during the school day and proceeds through four sequential components: greeting, sharing, group activity, and morning message. Complimenting our RC approach, we follow the five core competencies of the CASEL framework utilizing the C.A.R.E.S. Acronym to provide explicit instruction in the areas of: cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy and self- control.
