🌞 Summer Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment Update

As we wrap up one school year and prepare for the next, summer provides the perfect opportunity to reflect, refine, and recharge. Here's what’s happening across Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment during the summer months:

📚 Guaranteed & Viable Curriculum Work

This summer, we’re doubling down on ensuring every student has access to a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum. All teachers will come together in May and July to:

  • Prioritize and align essential standards across grade levels and subjects.

  • Create clear pacing guides and curriculum maps for a strong start in August.

  • Collaborate on meaningful learning experiences that reflect student needs and district goals.

  • Complete unit and lesson internalization guides for all content areas.

🛠️ Instructional Focus Areas

While classrooms may be quiet, our work behind the scenes continues:

  • Deep dives into high-impact instructional strategies are underway to support rigorous and engaging instruction.

  • Professional learning is being designed to strengthen differentiation, MTSS, and student-centered practices.

🧪 Assessment Insights

We’re using end-of-year data to:

  • Analyze trends in student performance and create 25.26 goals.

  • Identify areas for support and growth.

  • Drive planning for intervention, enrichment, and instructional shifts in 2025–26.

🧘‍♀️ Back-to-School Kickoff: Educator Wellness

We’ll launch the new school year with an inspiring Professional Development Day focused on Educator Wellness on August 11. Rooted in research and reflection, this session will help us reconnect with purpose, build resilience, and set the tone for a healthy and impactful year.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and our mission. We’re excited to continue growing together this summer and beyond!
