Do any schools have a district curriculum team that helps determine the direction, compliance, changes, etc. to curriculum? Please send details to rbelous@athertonschools.org, thanks.

I am looking for a tutoring or remedial program for students who are classified as homeless.  I found out today that Title 1 funds are available for this program and need to have something in place soon.  Any suggestions or resourses would be greatly appreciated.

We are in the works, but there is much debate over what they should look like and when they should be implemented.

For schools that have not moved Earth Science to the 8th Grade: What curriculum is being used for 8th Grade Science in the absence of any grade 8 Science GLCE's? Thanks for your help

Our high school is looking to implement a comprehensive dance program at the high school level starting with freshmen.  Do any of you have a worthwhile program running currently or know of a curriculum that is already out there???  Any information would be appreciated!  Thank you!

We in Coloma are switching to trimester scheduling for the 08-09 school year, and have found that the software used for scheduling through our ISD is inadaquate.  Does any one know of a stand alone software program available that just does scheduling?  Our hope would be to use this program to schedule our kids and then manually input it into our ISD system.

Thank you!
