Yeso Elementary Programs
We recognize that not all students have the same needs and requirements. Keeping with our motto of “Whatever it takes. Our kids are worth it,” we have implemented several programs to help us address the specific learning requirements of all our students.
Discovery Center
Yeso is equipped with a Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation STEM Center located in the Discovery Center made possible by the generosity of local donors. The Discovery Center is where the New Mexico STEM Ready science standards and science curricula (Mystery Science, Elevate, and Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation STEM curriculum) come to life!
Discovery Centers are collaborative spaces for small groups of students to work together to complete intellectually engaging activities. The centers are equipped with supplies to perform exciting experiments and hands-on technology to engineer student designs. Lessons are put in the hands of Artesia students for them to ask questions, imagine ideas, design solutions, test concepts, improve designs, and share their results.
Ask your student what’s happening in their Discovery STEM Center!
