NELSON MANDELA ELEMENTARY OPENED ITS DOORS TO 100 KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE STUDENTS IN AUGUST OF 2015. ADDING A GRADE EACH YEAR, THE SCHOOL IS NOW AT ITS FULL COMPLEMENT OF GRADES K-5 WITH 225 SCHOLARS. 85% OF THE SCHOLARS CAME FROM WITHIN 1.5 MILES OF THE SCHOOL. WITH A HIGH POPULATION OF FAMILIES WHO QUALIFIED THROUGH DIRECT CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS, WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CEP (COMMUNITY ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM) FEDERAL FOOD REIMBURSEMENT. THIS IS AWARDED TO SCHOOLS WHO HAVE AT LEAST 85% OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH. THE RACIAL MAKE-UP OF THE SCHOOL IS 97% AFRICAN AMERICAN, 1% CAUCASIAN, AND 2% HISPANIC AND ASIAN.THE FIVE INITIATIVES THAT MAKE NELSON MANDELA UNIQUE ARE: 1) SPALDING READING, 2) MINDFULNESS, 3) RECESS EVERY 90 MINUTES, 4) ALL SCHOLARS PLAY VIOLIN, AND 5) YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL. A CLIMATE SURVEY ISSUED TO ALL SCHOLARS AND FAMILIES REFLECTED A POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND APPROVAL OF THE UNIQUE INITIATIVES. PARENTS DO NOT PAY TUITION FOR THEIR SCHOLAR TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL, BUT ARE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS.
