It was great to see everyone at Curriculum Night on Thursday! Teacher's handed out packets including various items such as school discipline and homework policies and what to expect in the upcoming year. I've mentioned Common Core before and I thought I would let you know there is a resource put out by the National PTA that outlines what your child should learn by the end of the year. I'll include the link here and I'll also put it on the side where the other links are located. I'll also include the Intermediate Discipline plan so you have easy access to it. If you have any questions, let me know!
