Ashmore Elementary School is a K-4 building
located approximately 8 miles east of Charleston in the village of
Ashmore. The one-story building is situated on a site of
approximately three acres. Scattered around the spacious
playground are several different types of trees. Support
programs include reading recovery, speech/language and special
education services. Technology is also widely used and
integrated into the curriculum. The design of the building is quite
different from the traditional elementary school.
The main part of the building surrounds a spacious central
library. Students in
grades first through fourth are in classrooms that open directly onto
the library. The openness
of the design contributes to the warm, family type atmosphere of the
school. Students receive
an excellent academic program presented in a supportive environment.
The entire school staff strives to create a warm and inviting
atmosphere where parents and students will feel comfortable.
Parental involvement is evident at Ashmore School. There is a
picnic and talent show held at the end of the school year. It is
always well attended by family and friends.
