The new Mehoopany Elementary School opened its doors and welcomed its first students in the fall of 1996. On April 15, 2002 the school was tragically struck by a fire that destroyed the main lobby/office area, all of the third and fourth grade classrooms, remedial reading room, learning support room, library and the all purpose area.At Mehoopany Elementary School, students are provided numerous opportunities in a variety of settings to experience academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. Developmentally appropriate opportunities begin for kindergarten students so that readiness is provided for the academic subjects of reading, math and writing. Subjects are reading, language arts, math, science, social studies, English, and handwriting. Specialists teach art, music, physical education, library and technology education.

Students are introduced to reading using a variety of methods. Phonics and whole word instruction are provided through good, quality literature that is supported by a basal program. The use of reading material beyond the basal program is emphasized throughout grades one through four. The students are involved with the Accelerated Reading Program that encourages independent reading. Writing in sentence and/or paragraph form is utilized daily. Our students are also exposed to Kid Writing, Guided Reading, and Rocket Math.
