Students find purpose when taught with relevance. Each day we celebrate learning with a strong and creative curriculum…

ELA:  The HMH Into Reading program is a comprehensive, research-based literacy solution designed to engage students from Kindergarten through 5th grade in developing strong reading and writing skills. This dynamic curriculum supports students in building critical thinking abilities and fosters a love for reading through a balanced approach to instruction. Phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing are combined to support all aspects of literacy development. It empowers teachers with actionable data to personalize instruction and track student progress throughout the school year.

Note: **6-8 utilize the ACES created curriculum

Math: On a daily basis, students in grades K-8 are immersed in the Illustrative Math experience. Illustrative Mathematics prioritizes depth over breadth. Rather than memorization of equations and procedures, it emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. This approach helps students develop a deeper understanding of mathematics and prepares them for higher-level mathematics courses. The program makes real-world connections: Students discover, understand, and internalize key math concepts and apply their learning to various real-world problems and scenarios.

Note: **8th grade is also offered algebra

MTSS: Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a tiered system that aims to address behavioral, academic, and social emotional needs of ALL students by being thoughtful about the resources used to support students in their understanding of curricula. It is a systemic alignment of practices that includes a consistent set of strategies to support student learning. It benefits all schools within ACES and creates a continuum of support for all learners. The intervention team works with students during their daily WIN time (What I Need) using a variety of instructional materials and tools to help students achieve their goals.
