The goal of Sayen Elementary School is to create an educational environment that allows and encourages each student to grow as much as possible and to achieve his or her highest potential. Sayen is a school in service to strengthen the future.
Students will grow in the following areas: intellectual, social, aesthetic/artistic, values, health and physical, and safety awareness. Student growth will be achieved by a well educated and dedicated faculty; modern clean and well equipped facilities; carefully selected books and learning aides; and loyal committed, and well trained support personnel.
Sayen's curriculum will have a major emphasis on communication skills, including reading language arts, writing, library, and speaking; mathematics, science and computer technology skills to prepare students for life in the twenty first century; social studies; the arts; and health, safety, and physical education.
Our program at Sayen School will be supported by a strong, dedicated and active parent teacher association; and active school/community communications program; and volunteers to include parents, Robins and citizens.
Frederick R. Sayen School is one of seventeen elementary schools in Hamilton Township. The school is situated on Nottingham Way in Hamilton Square. The site is on a twelve acre piece of land which was purchased for $36,000. The two floor brick school building was built with twelve classrooms and an all-purpose room. In 1956, students entered for the first classes. In 1962, an additional four classrooms were added to the rear of the building. The all-purpose room is used as a cafeteria, auditorium, gym, and when necessary for lessons such as art and music.
