The Richland Two Center for Child Development offers free 4K Child Development Classes to students who qualify based on developmental readiness, free or reduced meal status or other risk factors.

School clubs and organizations are a great way to get students involved in their school and community while at the same time giving them opportunities to perfect many of the skills we are teaching them in the regular classroom.  We utilitze our half days to offer in school clubs for all students to participate in. 

Within the general education classroom, teachers use state adopted materials in reading, math, science, and social studies. Our STEMS classes use Engineering is Elementary for a reading curriculum and Investigations for their general math curriculum.  All of our teachers are encouraged to utilize other resources either purchased by the school or district, online materials, field studies, and guest speakers to enhance their units of study and ways to expose students to content. 

Our intervention services consist of a variety of ways for our school to meet the needs of each and every child and family. Members of our intervention services include a guidance counselor, intervention coordinator, school nurse, school social worker, and reading coach. These faculty members as well as other members of the faculty serve on the school's intervention assistance team (IAT). This team meets once per month to make decisions that will help meet the needs of students who may be struggling in school due to social, emotional, or academic concerns. We make it a point to make sure that parents and students are part of the IAT process as well. 

Be Great Academy is now  enrolling for the 2024-2025 school year at North Springs Elementary. For more information please visit https://begreatacademy.org/ 

We are very fortunate to serve several special education programs at NSE. We currently serve students who have individualized education plans (IEP) that require speech, resource classrooms, occupational therapy, developmental therapy, and self-contained classrooms. We also provide training for classroom teachers to implement and monitor IEP accommodations in the regular classroom and throughout the school. For more information, contact Dr. Barnett-Queen.

The student recognition program at NSE is unique. Each student will receive a lanyard. During each recognition ceremony, students can earn pins for their accomplishments. Pins are placed on student lanyards. At the end of 5th grade all students will receive their NSE medallion to go at the center of their lanyard.
