Monaview Elementary School is dedicated to fostering the development of world-class skills, as well as the life and career characteristics of a Better Graduate, in all of our students. Our commitment is realized through the provision of a high-quality, safe, and respectful learning environment where students are actively engaged and motivated to excel.
At Monaview, our mission is to equip each student with the essential foundation for academic and social growth. Our esteemed staff members exemplify this mission on a daily basis by upholding rigorous standards and delivering relevant content that promote student engagement, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Continuous professional development is a cornerstone of our educational approach at Monaview. Our dedicated teachers engage in ongoing training to enhance their instructional practices, focusing on areas such as literacy, mathematics, and technology.
In the realm of literacy, Monaview continues to implement Language Training for Reading and Spelling (LTRS) this year, grounded in the Science of Reading methodology backed by brain research and evidence-based teaching strategies. Furthermore, our educators participate in professional development studies led by experts like Dr. Nicki Newton in Guided Math and Sherry Parrish in Number Talks to elevate math instruction tailored to individual student needs.
Technology integration is another vital aspect of professional development at Monaview, with each student benefiting from a 1:1 Chromebook initiative. Through strategic training sessions, our teachers leverage technology as personalized learning tools, enabling students to extend their learning in meaningful ways.
In addition to academic enrichment, Monaview implements a variety of programs to support students' educational and social development, such as Social Emotional Learning, Mindfulness, Conscious Discipline, intervention programs in reading and math, and various extracurricular activities.
Our school-wide expectations of "respect yourself, respect others, and respect the environment" are consistently reinforced through positive behavior modeling, recognition, and rewards. Students who exemplify these expectations earn Pride Paws, which can be redeemed at our school store or used for quarterly celebrations and special activities.
At Monaview Elementary, we firmly believe in the potential of every student to learn and succeed, and our dedicated staff is committed to creating an environment where this expectation is met. By nurturing our students' growth, we are shaping a brighter future for South Carolina by cultivating capable graduates and future leaders.
