Bunker Hill Elementary School

Cedar Lane Elementary serves students in grades 1 through 5 on Cedar Lane Road in the Appoquinimink School District. Our teachers use differentiated instruction so students learn at beginning, developing, and expanding levels, and we follow a positive behavior support approach. Students take art, music, physical education and technology, and they visit our library and computer lab. A reading teacher, an interventionist, a speech and language teacher, a counselor, a nurse and a psychologist support students who need more help. Each morning starts with a news program in every classroom. Students can join our Kids Who Code club and try Blockly block coding, and families take part through an active PTA, volunteering, and CLE business partners.

Crystal Run Elementary is part of Appoquinimink School District's Summit Campus in Middletown, and we serve more than 400 students in grades 1 to 5. Every student receives an iPad loaded with learning resources, and our 35 traditional classrooms are equipped with smart TVs and whiteboards. Learning pods let different classes and grades work together. Our building includes a STEM room, an art room, a music room for chorus, band, and strings, a sensory room, a stage, a gymnasium, a library, and an outdoor playground. Students take Spanish and STEM classes, where they practice engineering design, coding and robotics, hands-on science experiments, and digital literacy. Our support services team includes a school counselor, a nurse, and a social worker, and students receive special education services through the district. Translation services help families stay informed, and parents get involved through the parent-led Boosters, curriculum nights, field trips, and performances.
