Thank you for visiting our website.  This website provides users with an overview of the curriculum in kindergarten through fifth grade.  This website reflects the state's standards that teachers are required to teach at each grade level.  These standards are a combination of the North Carolina State Standards (English Language Arts and Math) and the NC Essential Standards (Science, Social Studies, etc.).  These are the standards that are assessed on the Literacy and Mathematics Assessments in kindergarten through second grade and on the End-of-Grade tests in grades three through five.

Parents of Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade students can locate information regarding the standards-based reporting system. K-3 parents can also access information on Read to Achieve implementation.  

We hope that this information will be helpful to you and that you will use it as a reference throughout the year.  If you have questions, talk with your child's teacher or principal.

Our Elementary Schools strive to:

• Integrate math and reading throughout the curriculum

• Develop character and work ethics

• Forge strong relationships with students and parents

• Ensure a safe, orderly, and caring school environment

• Utilize 21st Century tools and technology

• Focus on development of the whole child

   

We, as a school district, appreciate you as our valued partners in the education of our children.

-Heggerty: Heggerty is a daily, oral phonemic awareness program that helps students hear and work with sounds in words. It focuses on skills like rhyming, blending, segmenting, adding, deleting, and substituting sounds—all without print.

-Fundations (K-3): Fundations is a structured literacy program that explicitly teaches phonics, spelling, and handwriting. It follows a systematic, multisensory approach—students see, say, hear, and write letters and sounds to build strong reading and spelling skills. Lessons are consistent and routine-based, helping students develop phonemic awareness, decoding, encoding, and fluency.

-Scholastic Text Sets (K-1): Scholastic Text Sets are read-aloud book collections organized around common themes. Students engage with topics such as kindness and respect, weather, plant growth, community helpers, and animals and habitats, among many others. These themed texts help build background knowledge while strengthening listening comprehension and discussion skills.

-Wonders (2-5): Wonders is a comprehensive reading curriculum that integrates phonics, reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and speaking/listening. It uses authentic texts, weekly themes, and differentiated instruction to build reading skills while connecting literacy to real-world topics. Lessons are designed to support whole group, small group, and independent practice.

-iReady (K-5): iReady Math is a data-driven math curriculum that combines diagnostic assessments with personalized instruction. It adapts to each student’s needs, providing targeted lessons, practice, and ongoing progress monitoring aligned to grade-level standards. Teachers use the data to plan small-group and individualized support.

-Fire & Wire (K-1): Students work with visual patterns (like dots, ten-frames, or dice patterns) to quickly identify how many objects are present. This builds number sense, mental math, and early addition/subtraction skills by helping students see numbers as groups rather than counting one by one.
