Welcome to our website!

The instructional program at the elementary level which includes kindergarten through grade five is designed to foster individual student growth, both academically and socially.  It is characterized by a balanced and developmental literacy approach to reading and writing, a product and process based mathematics, inquiry science and social studies.  Technology is used as a tool integrated throughout all areas.   Other programming at the elementary level includes a Charter 4K (kindergarten) and integrated early childhood, special education, art, music, physical education, support for English as a Second Language, strings, orchestra, band, gifted/talented, and several after school options.  Both schools have a strong student intervention program to help struggling students achieve academic success.  This program includes an after school Homework Help Club. All students are encouraged to work to their maximum potential with an overall objective of continuous progress through developmentally appropriate practices.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:  The mission of Hales Corners Elementary School is to ensure that every student meets all established academic and social standards through engaging instruction in a safe, inclusive environment.

 U.S. Coast Guard visits HCES

On June 2, 2010 the HCE playground was buzzing.  The U.S. Coast Guard conducted a flight demonstration and rescue hover.  This exciting event was followed by a presentation to the entire school relating to Summer Boating Safety.  Following the entire school presentation, the crew also made a Career Presentation to the 5th grade students, as part of the 5th grade Guidance Curriculum.  Both the staff and students will remember the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and crew, for a long time. 

HCE thanks the U.S. Coast Guard and the flight crew for this exciting, educational and entertaining program.  The flight crew was:

Lt. Shawn McMillan, Aircraft Commander

Lt. Junior Grade Brian Crook, Co-Pilot

Petty Officer 1st Class Chris Monville, Rescue Swimmer

Petty Officer 3rd Class Ted Mace, Flight Mechanic

Please ask your student about this exciting event.

We would like to thank Petty Officer 1st Class Chris Monville, the father of  Hannah Monville one of our students, who helped organize this event.
