They vary from district to district but at their core, curriculum maps serve as a roadmap for educators, students and families to understand the sequence of topics, the essential understandings and the key skills embedded within a course that is accompanied by a timeline for instruction. Please note that these maps are intended to serve as a flexible guide. Other factors and data may impact the timeline outlined in each map.  A curriculum map's fundamental purpose is to serve as a tool for ongoing conversations about learning goals for students.

At Garrison Union Free School District (GUFS), we believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, exploration, and rapid developmental growth. Our Pre-Kindergarten program is designed around an interdisciplinary, play-based approach that recognizes children learn best when they are actively engaged, socially connected, and joyfully exploring their world. By centering our instruction around the natural curiosity of the child, we foster a lifelong love for learning while building a robust foundation for future academic success. See the Curriculum Map HERE.

Our goal at GUFS is to cultivate the next generation of environmentalists who are curious, empathetic, problem-solvers who work as a team to achieve a common goal! Environmental Education is interwoven into Pre-K-8 science, social studies, ELA, math, and art programs and is built to align with K-8 standards. Students are offered learning experiences that are cross-curricular and project-based, through an environmental lens.
