Common Core Standards

We are so excited to be off to a great start this year. Each year brings new and welcome changes, and this year we will have a shift in our math curriculum and behavior structures. As you may know, the state of Illinois adopted new state standards this past January; they are the national Common Core Standards. This set of standards has been adopted by 38 out of the 50 states. With this new adoption, we will be revising our local curriculum maps, a transition that will take place during this school year.
