Each grade level’s newsletter will be posted on our school website in both English and Spanish, covering that month’s math focus, a book pairing, a vocabulary corner, “Try This at Home” activities, a featured Standard for Mathematical Practice, and math talk prompts you can use at home.

We hope this makes it easier to understand what your child is learning and gives you simple, low-pressure ways to talk about math together. If you have any questions about the content, please reach out directly to your student’s teacher. Thank you for partnering with us this year!

That’s why ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ offers families a variety of schools to meet the needs of all learners in grades 4K-12. Each student is assigned to a boundary school based on their address, but families can also apply to any of ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ’s choice schools. To learn more, ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ invites you to join us for the ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ meetings and/or open houses that best suit your family’s needs.


What’s the difference between boundary and choice schools?

  • Boundary schools are assigned based on a student’s home address. Find yours using the Boundary School Locator tool.
  • Choice schools are ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ schools other than a student’s boundary school that families may apply to attend.
