Colebrookdale Elementary School is one of seven elementary schools in the Boyertown Area School District. The school is located next to the Education Center on Montgomery Avenue. Enrollment is approximately 350 students.

For the 2009-10 school year there are two classes at every grade level, kindergarten through sixth. We are privileged to have the entire school district’s Life Skills population as part of our student body. In addition, Colebrookdale is home to the primary gifted class (PEP), with these students being bussed here once a week for special instruction.

The school is an excellent educational facility. Our staff puts an emphasis on instruction, with our goal being to have every student meet or exceed his or her potential. Students receive instruction in all major subjects as well as special area subjects that include art, music, physical education and library. At designated grade levels, students may also select chorus and instrumental lessons if they so desire. Students at Colebrookdale Elementary have the benefit of an art room, music room and library as well as a computer lab that is located adjacent to the library.

We are fortunate to have an excellent teaching and paraprofessional staff at Colebrookdale Elementary School. These dedicated adults do their best to provide a wonderful educational experience for all of our students. In addition, we have two and a half learning support teachers, a speech clinician, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist, a reading specialist and a guidance counselor. Remediation, when needed, is handled during or after school, depending on the grade level, with the help of our own teaching staff in an effort to provide services for those students who may need extra support as they strive to do their best academically. With these supports, we feel that we can reach our students in ways that would not otherwise be possible.

Our school theme this year will be “Educational Excellence Equals Student Success”. While we have enjoyed success in the past, both academically and socially, there are always ways to improve. This initiative will incorporate emphasis on the major academic areas, including math and reading, as well as the components of good citizenship. Respect, responsibility, honesty and getting along with others are some of the concepts that will be stressed throughout the year. We feel that helping children become well rounded people who are well educated and care about others is a paramount goal. As a result of our efforts, it is our hope that our community as a whole will grow and prosper.

Another initiative which helps us generate community involvement is our participation in the “No Place For Hate” program. Getting along with others and accepting people’s differences is stressed throughout the year and highlighted by special activities. We are proud to be able to say that we have been certified as a “No Place For Hate” school for the past two years.

No school can exist in a vacuum. Parents are a vital part of any school community. Colebrookdale Elementary School is very fortunate to have a very active Home and School Association (H.S.A.). Many student activities are sponsored during the school year thanks to the efforts of the H.S.A. These activities include the following: holiday homeroom activities, a skating party, a Fun Fair, our sixth grade awards recognition program and many individual classroom projects. In addition, the H.S.A. funds special purchases for the school that might not be possible otherwise. These purchases enhance the educational process for the students as well as provide a more stimulating educational environment for all.

It is our goal at Colebrookdale to pass along a love of learning to all of our students. This is fostered by our efforts to provide a safe and positive educational environment throughout the year. Parental help and cooperation in meeting this goal is paramount. By working together, we can achieve great things for all of our students.
