Announcement

Curriculum maps are now available on-line! Curriculum maps explain what we teach, when we teach it and the skills that students need to acquire. It is the desire of the district to provide a well articulated curriculum K - 12 that supports teachers and parents on behalf of our students. This is the first year that we are providing curriculum maps to parents, and therefore we anticipate revisions throughout the year as we monitor the effectiveness of the maps.
