The following brochures have been developed to support families with children enrolled in our elementary schools. These brochures provide an overview of all of the Academic Competencies, Personal Competencies, and Grading & Reporting Scales for each of our grade levels.
The Inter-Lakes School District Curriculum
Our district curriculum framework is competency-based; competency statements are global learning statements that encompass a number of standards. Our framework is comprised of academic and personal competencies.
The Inter-Lakes School District Personal Competencies
Personal Competencies are essential skills, habits, and strategies learners need to actively engage and thrive in the learning cycle; these competencies support a successful educational experience. Personal Competencies promote success as well as facilitate learning.
The Inter-Lakes School District Academic Competency Documents
Academic Competencies serve as measurement criteria for assessing student success. Competencies are further defined by standards or learning goals related to the competency. Each content discipline has created a competency framework to guide all instructional planning, assessment, and grading.
