K-5 Elementary Math District Parent Night

During the 2010-11 school year, the Elementary Math Committee was charged with evaluating the current math resource (EM) to determine if it was aligned to the new Common Core Learning Standards.

After a thorough review, the committee unanimously found significant discrepancies and requested a review of alternative resources.
