K-5 Literacy Curriculum Pilot
K-5 Literacy Curriculum Pilot: 2025-2026
Our district is committed to providing high-quality, research-based literacy instruction. This year, we are piloting new materials for English Language Arts (ELA), English Language Development (ELD), and Spanish Language Arts (SLA) to ensure every student has access to high quality instructional materials aligned with the Science of Reading and research-based practices.

Family Information Sessions
We are hosting several information sessions for families throughout the pilot process. These sessions provide an overview of the curricula being piloted, instructions on how to review materials, and guidance on how to provide feedback.
Dates for the sessions are listed below. Links to session presentations will be added before each meeting.
Curriculum Pilot Parent Preview Session:
Once the pilot team has their final curriculum recommendation(s), a family preview window of the recommended curriculum will be open before the Board of Trustees considers adoption. We will start the family preview window with a family information session.

Share Your Feedback
Your feedback is an important part of the pilot process. Feedback shared by families will be reviewed by the pilot and taken into consideration when making their final recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
What to Look For:
As you explore the materials, consider how they support your child’s needs and how they align with the Science of Reading (the proven ways children learn to read).
How to Share Your Thoughts:
All feedback will be collected through a Google Form.
