Welcome • We are here tonight to help parents have a better understanding of the standards taught and the curriculum used in the classroom. We will look at specific grade level curriculum and assessments used and what your child needs to know to be successful in the current grade and to move to the next grade level.
State’s Academic Content/Achievement Standards • Where to find them? • Gray Elementary Web Page • http://jones.gray.schooldesk.net/Click on teacher tab, click on your grade level, click on curriculum tab, click on desired information. • Jones County District Web Page: http://jones.schooldesk.net/ Click on tab: District, then click on Departments, click on Curriculum and Instruction (you have two options here). Either under Quick Links: click on Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, then choose CCGPSELA/Math tab, then choose English Language Arts or Math, click k-5, then grade level.
