All elementary schools within the D.C. Everest district have approximately the same school day. Students in grades kindergarten through fifth receive core and related arts instruction daily. Our school day allows ample time for instruction and supervised activities.

Students receive special instruction from a “related arts” teacher in art, music, physical education, guidance, and library skills on a rotating basis throughout the school year. Classroom teachers expand upon the lessons introduced by related arts teachers and reinforce newly acquired skills.
