Community Involvement

Kaleidoscope recognizes the value of the community and is committed to a positive, mutually beneficial relationship with stakeholders beyond the school.  Through a strong relationship with the community, Kaleidoscope will enhance our students’ education with:​

• Volunteer programs: The well-rounded student knows the importance of giving back to the community, and this will be modeled through community service projects.

• Internships (grades 7 and 8): Early exposure to the business environment and future careers helps develop an understanding of the importance of education as it relates to careers.

• International/Global Awareness: Kaleidoscope recognizes that “Global Economy” is not just a phrase, it is a reality.  It is critical for students to understand our place as a world contributor and competitor; therefore, Kaleidoscope will utilize online global education resources to provide exposure to and understanding of challenges in our diverse global society.

• Guest speakers, who represent civic, business, and the community, and in-school presentations, will enhance relevance in the classroom.

• Student Council: As a model for understanding the complexities of governance and civic engagement, the Student Council is an important aspect of a complete education experience.

• Field trips: Taking students into the community to experience how their learning is applied in real world situations is fundamental at every stage of learning.
