New curriculum focuses on writing

More good news, at least I predict so… The middle schools have a brand new English curriculum! While everyone else was enjoying the (mostly) beautiful summer we had, Dr. V and her staff were definitely working hard to overhaul the curriculum for our schools. I’m anticipating great things, as it appears to have much more emphasis on writing, which is one of the district's overall weaknesses.

Hopefully this means the homework activities will no longer include designing board games based on books read, and actually focus on how to write comprehensive book reports!
