What this document actually says
This April 2025 update describes the district's comprehensive math program improvements. A pilot program involving 13 teachers across 15 classrooms tested two curricula (grades PreK-5), with unanimous recommendation to adopt Amplify Desmos Math for Board approval in May. Key actions include: 15 teachers trained in project-based learning, hiring an Instructional TOSA for 2025/26, developing 20 Math & ELA Family Guides for fall 2025, intervention classes serving 143 students across three schools (Reed: 49, Bel Aire: 51, Del Mar: 43), after-school tutoring for 26 priority students, a Music is Math pilot with 29 third-graders, and ongoing technology tool evaluations. The district is also formalizing its MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) framework for 2025/26.
What this means for your family
Your child will use a new math curriculum (Amplify Desmos Math) starting in 2025-26 that was carefully tested and selected by teachers. Families will receive Math & ELA guides at the start of next school year to help support learning at home. Students needing extra help can access intervention classes and after-school tutoring. The district is hiring additional instructional support staff and improving how teachers identify and help students who need extra assistance.
