Welcome to James Madison Primary School!  James Madison Primary School provides a safe and productive learning environment for our kindergarten through grade two students.  Given the age of the children that we teach, our staff prides itself on their ongoing commitment to providing instruction that is developmentally appropriate and designed to meet the varied needs of our young learners.
 
 
Visitors to the building will immediately notice the bright atmosphere and positive feeling tone that the building exudes.  Children's work is found throughout the building in lively colorful displays.  The building reflects the energy and productivity of our young learners.
 
 
Our students are immersed in children's literature as we build the foundation for life-long reading.  Quality literature serves as a springboard for our writing instruction.  Our students participate in math instruction that incorporates the development of foundational skills and strategies.  Equal to our rigorous academic instruction is our commitment to strong character development and pro-social skills instruction.  Our students learn from a young age the importance of cooperation and collaboration as they work with partners, in small groups, and engage in whole-class activities.
 
Our parent community is very active at James Madison Primary School as we believe our parents are our partners in their children's education.  Parent volunteers frequent the building to assist with building events and to visit the classrooms to assist in activities and to read aloud to students.  Our PTO strives to provide meaningful assemblies and memorable events to enrich our students' educational experiences.  Our diverse population positively contributes to our students' opportunities to learn from each other about a variety of cultures.
 
At James Madison Primary School we believe that learning is an adventure!  We encourage curiosity and exploration as our young learners begin their life-long journey of learning.
