The Common Core State Standards (CCLS) adopted in January 2011 is a set of national learning expectations developed by teachers, administrators, parents, and education experts from around the country. These standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in K-12 Math and English Language Arts.

There is a great deal of similarity between New York State’s current standards and these national standards; however, in the coming years, there will be some changes in what your child will be taught. Some information will be new and some content will be taught in a different grade level than in the past.

Implementation of CCSS began for our Kindergarten through Second Grade students for the 2011-2012 school year. Implementation for our Third through Eighth Grade students will begin this 2012-2013 school year.  These changes mean your child, and students across the state, will be better prepared to meet the new college and career ready high school graduation requirements and leave our schools with a strong educational foundation and the skills needed to succeed.
