Lambs Elementary School is helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by focusing on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. We remain committed to our vision to provide a supportive and welcoming climate where diversity in education is valued and embraced. We foster opportunities for students to become lifelong learners in a safe and secure environment. We make data-driven decisions that benefit instruction and work vigorously to ensure that all students receive a high-quality, rigorous educational experience. All teachers meet with our school-based instructional support staff and administrators weekly using the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) model. Teachers and support staff discuss and build upon effective instructional practices, address student needs, and develop plans to support student progress.
Collaboration at Lambs Elementary School occurs to ensure student success, academically and socially. Classroom teachers collaborate with others to ensure student growth. Reading and math interventionists, along with teachers of students with exceptional needs, gifted students, and multilingual learners collaborate with classroom teachers daily. Our school guidance counselor and outside support staff lead implementation of the Second Steps social-emotional curriculum for all students and Restorative Practices. We wholeheartedly believe that collaboration and teamwork are critical to student achievement. We also believe that parents and teachers working together support student growth. Parent conferences occur during the first semester of the school year to discuss their students’ areas of mastery and areas for growth. Teachers and parents are able to develop action plans for helping students with academics at both school and home.
Lambs Elementary School continues to fully support the vision of the Charleston County School District. We are committed to reaching the goal of all students reading on grade level by fifth grade in 2027. We have adopted a strong English Language Arts curriculum that is comprehensive and research-informed. It is a core language arts program that engages teachers and students through compelling, real world content.
