Our Curriculum

The elementary curriculum is designed to meet the district objectives by providing instruction in basic skills and a general knowledge base. It also provides for opportunities to explore the arts and leisure activities.

The curriculum includes language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music and physical education. Language arts covers reading, writing, spelling and handwriting.

Students receive most of their instruction in their own classroom. Students are sometimes regrouped for special classes and activities that respond to individual needs and interests.

Copies of the curriculum guides are available in each attendance center and on the district’s web page.
