Coweta County School System follows the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) curriculum and instructional learning plans, adhering to the state-designed scope and sequence.

To support instruction, grade-specific teacher guides and weekly lesson plans have been developed for Coweta County educators. These resources are available in the Elementary Math Shared Drive, organized by grade band.

Access to the shared drive requires you being a member. If you do not have access, please contact your school's ETSS to request to be added.
