Finlayson Elementary is a “School Growing in the Pines.” We are a small, friendly, tight-knit community that offers a unique learning model with combined homerooms in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades; 3rd and 4th grades; and 5th and 6th grades. For our core subjects, highly-qualified and caring teachers provide grade-level appropriate curriculum that best suits the students’ needs and aligns with state standards. For our specials classes of Music, Phy. Ed, and STEAM, and community-building activities such as daily Morning Meeting, our students receive instruction with their combined homerooms. All students are valued, challenged, and provided a safe environment with which to individually grow and learn.
