About ERMA

The Eagle Rock Multi-Age (ERMA) Program began in the fall of 1994. It was created to provide another choice for parents of kindergarten through fifth grade students in the Riverview School District. This program integrates curricular areas through school-wide thematic units, developed by staff members and used to bring learning alive for children.

We offer students a unique hands-on, minds-on learning environment that fosters cooperation and teamwork. ERMA is based on the individual strengths and abilities of students rather than their grade levels. Students are allowed to progress at their own independent learning pace using a variety of learning styles.

One of the most unique features is the high level of participation and involvement of parents and community. ERMA depends on a shared commitment of each family and requires a minimum of 60 hours of volunteer time, per family, per year. Parents use their own strengths, talents, and skills in their volunteer service.

The ERMA Program is managed by a National Board Certified Teacher, and all staff members are leaders in the district and state professional development. All members of ERMA strive for excellence through collaboration; building an exceptional foundation for students in an inviting, nurturing setting is our top priority.

Families who wish to enroll their child(ren) in the Eagle Rock Multi-Age Program may request an application packet between January 3 and March 1 by contacting the ERMA office at (425) 844-4900.

School Improvement Plan

The Eagle Rock Multi-Age Program K-5 supports site goals for improved student learning through the district budget, community, and grants.

This includes attending a staff retreat and providing ongoing in-service to educate staff and parents about the Multi-Age philosophy and strategies that help us improve teaching and learning in all curriculum areas. Staff attend and are leaders in district and state professional development.

The Eagle Rock Site-Based Council is the overall governing system of this program. They guide decisions regarding staffing, curriculum, management, application process, parent volunteering, and the program’s vision and mission. The Council consists of the staff members and parent representatives.

Facility Information

The Eagle Rock Multi-Age Program is located in modular buildings near Cedarcrest High School. Our students partner with Cedarcrest students in Drama, Art, and Literature projects.

A large deck and a garden, along with an outdoor classroom, provide daily interaction with the environment. In addition to the classrooms, a multi-purpose room provides space for a mini-computer lab and group activities.

PTA/PTSA

The ERMA Parent Teacher Association is an outstanding group of dedicated parents and staff who provide support for our program and funding needs.
