Bird Elementary School serves students in kindergarten through fifth grade in a 6:1+1 classroom setting. Our enhanced program model was designed to meet the diverse academic, social and behavioral needs of our students. With a small ratio of students to teachers, social workers and behavior specialists our students have the ability to develop the skills needed to build positive academic and social/emotional skills. 

Promoting Student Success

• Small class size and a high staff-to-student ratio promote the success of our students.
• Related Services including, but not limited to, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Counseling, and Music Therapy are provided as indicated on students’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).
• Classrooms are also supported by Crisis Intervention staff, Restorative Coach, and Social Worker/Psychologist and Behavior Specialists.
• Instructional Specialists in each content area collaborate with classroom teachers to develop and implement instruction based on NYS Learning Standards.
