6th and 7th grade curriculum is based on a combination of district-mandated curriculum (Amplify and Springboard) as well as teacher-selected materials. Selections and stories are subject to change at any time based on teacher's discretion. Please click on the link to see the YAG (Year at a Glance ) for each grade level. Click on the images to see the District Yags. Because we are a college prep school and our curriculum requires more rigor to align with AP classes in high school, we do not adhere strictly to these Yags.
*This is a constant work in progress and may change at the teacher's discretion. These are not in any particular order. This list will be updated throughout the year.
