Parents are encouraged to reinforce these skills at home with their children as they are presented in class. A variety of activities to assist you are included in the handbook. 


    School Curricula

    All students in grades K-5 have full curricula for every major subject area. 

    English / Language Arts - Journeys (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is the core English / Language Arts program utilized to foster confidence in reading literature and informational tests, build foundational skills, and develop mastery of speaking, listening, and writing.  Link: https://www.hmhco.com/programs/journeys

    Mathematics - Mathematics instruction is approached by building and reinforcing foundational math skills that translate from the classroom to real life through the GO Math! program (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Link: https://www.hmhco.com/programs/go-math
     
    Science - The ASSET program is designed to help classroom teachers and their students meet and exceed the benchmarks set by national standardized tests. What makes ASSET truly revolutionary is the way its curriculum focuses directly on what students need to know to meet those standards. Its professional development empowers teachers, providing the techniques and tools that turn scientific lessons into tangible, exciting concepts that students can touch, see, inquire about, and understand. Students investigate and observe scientific processes and methods throughout the year as they complete modules on different topics.
     
    Health  emphasizes Conflict Resolution and Bully Prevention in a curriculum that is combined with the curricula of Science and Physical Education.
     
    Social Studies utilizes the textbook Adventures in Time and Place with each grade to study different aspects of society, people, and places.
