Common Core State Standards

The Common Core is a set of guidelines schools use to enrich their curriculum and
help teachers develop their lesson plans daily.

"To ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core State Standards establish clear, consistent guidelines for what every student should know and be able to do in math and English language arts from kindergarten through 12th grade."
​Common Core State Standards Initiative.

-English Language Arts (ELA): March 25-27*
-Math: Wednesday, April 21-23*
