-
An almost 60-year-old campus that is well maintained and provides a traditional backdrop for contemporary, research-based instruction.
-
The Dodge Treehouse is an expansive playground built in the fall of 2011. There are traditional elements, such as slides and swings, but it is more than that. It is a great place for children to use their imagination and play cooperatively with others.
-
Family Reunions gather all students and staff together to reinforce building initiatives, recognize achievements and celebrate the uniqueness of the "Dodge Family."
-
Dodge Fitness playground is available to promote upper body strength. It features small climbing wall areas that the students love.
-
Annual Field Day - physical activities that include cooperation and (friendly) competition enjoyed by the entire school. Parent volunteers make this day possible!
- PBIS- A systemic, systematic approach to school-wide expectations. Students have learned explicitly through teacher-led skits what Be Safe. Be Kind. Work Hard looks like in a variety of school settings. A reinforcement system is also in place to "catch them being good"!

-
A common-core aligned ELA and Math Program K-4
-
In addition to our K-4 Balanced Literacy approach, there are several intervention strategies in place that follow:
-
Reading Recovery, an individualized, accelerative tutorial program for approximately 20% of our first grade students per year.
-
Leveled Literacy, an offshoot of Reading Recovery, provides instruction of all aspects of the reading process in small groups.
-
Systematic Phonics, based on Orton Gillingham, and/or the computerized program System 44 to provide a heavier emphasis on the decoding aspect of reading development for those who are having difficulty "cracking the code."
-
Fluency is developed through Quick Reads, Readers' Theatre and other strategies during intervention.
- Gifted Programming including small group extension and acceleration lessons as well as a building-wide annual theme that focuses learning and unifies the school. This year's theme will be announced soon.
