Jim Allen Elementary
School
Jim Allen Elementary School is located in
Cantonment, Florida, a small rural community ten miles north of
Pensacola. This community was originally, and remains today, a
papermill town.
Over 750 students attend Jim Allen each year in
kindergarten through fifth grade.
The classrooms each have an average of 4
computers. The students are able to work on these computers throughout
the day for reinforcement of basic skills and enrichment. The students
and teachers at Jim Allen have access to museums, libraries, and
databases of information worldwide through a direct internet connection
in each classroom.
The school has an in house TV studio which can
be used to broadcast programs throughout the school. A technology
resource teacher works with students and teachers daily.
Jim Allen is fortunate to have Title I funds
and Dropout Prevention funds to aid in educating our children. With
these monies, additional teachers are secured so that each classroom
has less than 30 students.
Jim Allen has a staff of teachers who show a
love for children and encourage parent participation. There is an
active volunteer program where parents are encouraged to give of their
time to help both students and teachers. Parent contact is made on a
regular basis so parents know what is happening in their children's
lives.
The administration has an open door policy. If
you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact Rachel Watts, Principal, or Lisa Arnold, Intern
Principal.
International
Paper Company became involved in a
partnership with Jim Allen in 1987. The company has provided the
school with volunteer help at carnivals, PE field days, classroom
presentations, and Math Superstars for 2nd through 5th grade. They
also financially assisted with networking the entire
school.
