All About Weber
Irving B. Weber Elementary School opened
in the fall of 1994 and is located at 3850 Rohret Road in Iowa City.
Weber's students and staff combine to make a culturally diverse
learning community. The attendance area includes Hawkeye Court and
the area west of Mormon Trek and south of Melrose Avenue, excluding
Pheasant Ridge Apartments.
Weber Elementary is organized around four teams
of children: five- to six-year-olds (Team 1), six- to eight-year-olds
(Team 2), eight- to ten-year olds (Team 3), and ten- to twelve-year-olds
(Team 4).
The building houses four wings around the central
hub of the media center, which is electronically connected to every
classroom. Classrooms are sizeable enough for large-group and small-group
instruction in each room. A portion of the walls between classrooms
is flexible so that instructional areas may be expanded; collaborative
teaching and learning is encouraged. A separate multi-purpose (community)
room with its own entrance and independent locking system allows
the facility to serve as a community center even when school is
not in session.
