Description
Sandburg Elementary School is located in Madison near the East Towne Mall. During the school day, many students are enrolled in a Duel Language Immersion Program, in which class is taught in either English or Spanish, depending upon the time of the day. Furthermore, there is an iPad for every student in the school, which allows for teachers to responsibly teach all students the necessary technological skills that they will need as they move forward in their lives.
At Sandburg, there is also a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant funded after school program, run by Madison School and Community Recreation, which is intended to bring students up to grade level in mathematics, literacy, and bilingual literacy.
