We are the Hemingway Huskies...

Hemingway Elementary is a K-5 school and serves a student population of approximately 430 students.  We also offer preschool and day care operated by the YMCA in a building adjacent to our campus.  Our staff consists of a professional learning community of 35 highly qualified teachers, supported by 10 skilled paraprofessionals and a very active community of parent volunteers.

Hemingway prides itself on providing a well-rounded education to all students, while continuing to meet our annual yearly progress goals for all demographic groups.  In addition to our outstanding academic programs, all of our students participate in Art, Music, Physical Education, and Computers and Technology training taught by specialists in those areas.  Our Special Services, Speech and Language, and Gifted and Talented programs provide services for students with special needs.  We also offer our students the opportunity to participate in Choir, Strings Orchestra, and a Ski program for both Alpine and Nordic skiing.

Hemingway offers several unique opportunities, one of which is our Dual Immersion program.  This is a K-5 program that students enter in Kindergarten.  Classes are comprised of half native English speakers and half native Spanish speakers.  Throughout their elementary years, they are taught the grade level curriculum half the time in Spanish and half the time in English.  Hemingway also offers its own daily TV morning news show which is produced by our fifth graders.

I hope you enjoy your tour of our school.  At Ernest Hemingway Elementary School, students live our motto:  "We show respect for ourselves and others."
