Clarence Center Elementary School is located at 9600 Clarence Center Road Clarence Center, NY. This school serves the educational needs for Clarence, New York for grades K-5 and it is governed by the Clarence Central School District located in northeastern part of Erie County in New York State. Clarence Center focus on the early literacy and language arts skills of our youngest students, ensuring their ability to read, write and think critically in all curricular areas including math, science, social studies, art, music, library skills, and physical education.
The staff are always striving to meet the academic, developmental, and social needs of early adolescents, interdisciplinary teams at the middle school work closely with students, providing them appropriate support and a nurturing environment in which to grow.
Starting in the fourth grade, students have the opportunity to play a band or string instrument for the first time in the school setting. An extensive recruitment program takes place in September, and students begin weekly lessons at the conclusion of that process. Small group lessons take place once a week for each student, and work on a rotating basis so students do not miss the same class time each week. Lessons continue throughout the year. In fifth grade, the lesson process functions in the same manner.
