The curriculum overview provides a general scope and sequence of learning activities in each academic area. While the curriculum is adopted by the Board of Trustees and reflects the goals of the community, the expertise of the faculty, and the guidelines of the state standards, these summaries are living documents and are subject to modifications throughout the year.
Over the years, our teachers have focused on mapping their curriculum and aligning it with the California State Standards. For those unfamiliar with this concept, mapping is the process that allows teachers to look at their curriculum in a calendar-based structure and identify the specific content (what students need to know?) and skills (what skills students should be bale to do?). Teachers meet on a regular basis in grade level meetings to refine and improve their plans to include activities, assessments, integration opportunities, and technology connections. It is our hope that these curriculum summaries will allow you to see more specific content and skills being addressed in your child's classroom.
We believe parents are partners in the important job of educating children of this community. We realize the importance of developing in each child a love of learning, self-respect and self-worth. Our experienced staff of teachers is dedicated to providing every child with the best educational opportunity possible. We welcome your interest and encourage your participation in this important partnership.
