COLLEGE PARK ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
The mission for College Park Elementary School is to provide a safe
and nurturing environment for our children to discover the joy and love
of learning, and to create a lifelong desire to grow academically, socially,
and emotionally. With the support of the staff, family, and community,
we promote self-respect, as well as respect for other children and adults.
HISTORY & SPECIAL PROGRAMS
College Park Elementary is located in the Kempsville section of Virginia
Beach. The school serves the College Park, Level Green, College Square,
and Eastwick neighborhoods. We opened in 1973 and recently celebrated
our 30th birthday!
College Park is a Fully Accredited school. There
is a great deal of community pride and satisfaction in the accomplishments
of the staff, parents, and students at College Park Elementary. At College
Park Elementary there is a firm belief that if we “believe we can”
and work hard, we will be successful.
Currently fifty-one percent (51%) of our students participate in the Free
Lunch program, which qualifies us as a Title 1 school.
As a Title 1 school, we continue to seek ways to improve the achievement
of our at-risk population of students. Monthly
Title I parental involvement meetings are held to help parents work
with their child at home and a monthly newsletter is published each month
that focuses on reading and math strategies. A comprehensive after school
tutoring program has been established for students in grades 3,4, and
5. In a continuous effort to improve the student achievement at College
Park Elementary School, a Wednesday School program has also been initiated
to provide students with additional opportunities to complete assigned
classwork and homework.
We are very excited about the BEAR reading program at College Park Elementary.
This is the third year that volunteers from the United Jewish Federation
have sponsored a second grade-reading program. College Park is proud of
its various school programs, partnerships, honors, and awards. Our Cougar
Paw Program serves as an incentive for students who are well behaved.
Individual students are recognized each week as well as classes on each
grade level. Each quarter we host an Academic Pep Rally. This pep rally
recognizes students who have demonstrated academic and behavioral growth.
The students and staff at College Park continue to strive for academic
excellence.
