Overview:<br />
Maria Sanchez Elementary School is a Pre-K–5 neighborhood school located within walking distance of the State Capitol<br />
buildings and other landmarks. With 490 students, our school is small enough to nurture our students and teach a rigorous<br />
program of reading, writing, math, science, and character development.<br />
Students start using computers for reading in kindergarten and receive instruction on a daily basis using the Waterford<br />
Program (K-2) and Success Maker (3rd). In grades 4 and 5 students have computers in their classrooms as well as in the<br />
Computer Lab classroom and in the Media Center.<br />
School-wide projects (such as the Pennies for Patients annual campaign for children with cancer) allow our students learn<br />
about giving to those in need. Partnerships with local agencies, such as Mi Casa, bring parent programs and after-school<br />
activities to our students.<br />
Sanchez is a pathway to the McDonough Expeditionary Learning School (MELS) for grades 6 – 8; students entering Grade 6<br />
who would like to attend MELS do not need to participate in the Choice Lottery process.<br />
