Revised PreK-5 Related Arts Model
The following message from Superintendent Dr. Craig Cooke was sent to the community on January 16, 2025: The Board of Education and District Administration greatly appreciate the feedback and suggestions we have received from the community regarding the proposed elementary related arts model for the 2025 - 2026 school year. We have continued to revise the draft model that was shared with teachers in November. The Administration has worked hard to make significant changes to the November draft and produce an updated model. In summary, the changes include increasing Spanish instruction to 2x a week for Grades 4 & 5, adding back Theatre for all Grade 5 students, and the introduction of band/orchestra ensembles. |
The model will be presented to the Board of Education on Tuesday, January 21st at 5:00 PM. All Board meetings are recorded and have a Zoom option. We also look forward to sharing this information with current 4th Grade families on Thursday, January 23rd at 6 PM at Brown School. The Grade 4 meeting will be a chance for families to learn about the model in greater detail and have a Q&A with school administrators. Similar meetings will be held for current Jeffrey and Ryerson families on March 3. We will be sharing information following the meeting for families who were unable to attend.
