Lichen Elementary School serves kindergarten through eighth grade students.  Lichen also has two preschool programs on campus.  We partner with the Bridges After School office to provide an after school recreation program that supports positive social development and assistance with homework at no cost to our families.  Lichen also has a fee based Discovery Club program that provides before and after school care for students. 

Lichen partners with the Sunrise Parks and Recreation District to provide organized sports programs after school for boys and girls.  We have an active PTA that supports our school programs and has been instrumental in converting our campus to wireless internet access.  The PTA helps to fund classroom field trips, student awards assemblies, our school store, families nights, and technology purchases.  They are currently raising money for a school beautification project.

Lichen has both reading and math intervention programs before school that provide assistance to students in these areas.  We have an early/late reading program in first, second and third grades and a leveled reading program during a portion of the school day for students in fourth through sixth grades.  Seventh and eighth grade students have a period of intervention in both math and reading during students' elective period for those students who need support in these areas.  Embedded in the fifth through eighth grade curriculum are AVID strategies which help to prepare students for college with organization and study skills.  Lichen has a school-wide 2nd Step Program that develops empathy, anger management and problem solving skills in students.

Our goal is to develop confident learners who are ready with the skills they need for high school and beyond.
