Common Core Standards
Are you interested in how your child will be affected by the new Common Core Standards that have been adopted by our local schools? Wondering what the difference between FCAT and Common Core Standards are?
An Area 3 representative from the Palm Beach County School District will be on hand to deliver a presentation about the Common Core Standards on Tuesday, June 4th at the quarterly Wellington Education Committee Meeting. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Village Hall, 12300 Forest Hill Boulevard. The presentation is open to the public and parents, students and members of the community are encouraged to attend this informational session.
Common Core standards will be fully implemented in Wellington’s schools in the 2014-2015 school year. Common Core Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in kindergarten through 12th grade in reading, language arts and mathematics, so students, teachers and parents can coordinate in working together for shared goals. The presentation is intended to provide an overview of common core standards and will address the timeline for Palm Beach County.
