Welcome to Waters!

A DAY IN THE LIFE

PRIMARY K-3

NOTE: Kindergarten at Waters Elementary is full day due to generous funding by those families who have their children enrolled in it. Without this annual continued funding, Waters would become a half day program. Sign up to receive emails about meetings re: funding next year's kindergarten. Parents donate to keep it full day. Stay informed.

Browse through our slide show and get a feel for our primary school day.

Besides the general CPS academic curriculum (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Writing), Waters students receive instruction in the following ancillary subjects:

Gym - once a week

Ecology - as an extension to the science curriculum, K-8 students enjoy 3 field trips per year for deeper study of grade-specific environmental subjects. Hands-on learning in this subject also occurs in or outside of class if it is applicable to the science unit being studied.

Art & Technology:
These 4 subjects are all taught as studio-sized half classes (14:1) for more indepth concepting on projects:

Visual Art
Music
Drama
Technology
