[quote=Anonymous]PP again. I have not had any interaction with the principal, and honestly that is fine with me. Keep the school open and the teachers happy! The PTA is very active and keep parents well informed.

In terms of curriculum, like I said, it’s run at the county level. Within the last couple of years MoCo got new reading and math curriculum. It’s been a learning curve changing curriculum and the math is challenging for parents because it’s very different than how we were taught, but generally I am happy with it… both reading and math have opportunities for challenges at all levels (it’s very groups based) and teach to real world skills, which is useful. For example, reading includes lots of non-fiction and annotating. The math teaches foundational skills so the kids really understand why math works the way it does (annoying for parents to follow and help, but very good as a curriculum) and teaches real world skills and algebraic thinking from kindergarten. So, yea, the curriculum has challenges for parents but I think it is very good. I have a kindergartner at RH who was not well prepped for K (hello, pandemic) and a very academically inclined, self-challenging kid at CCES. The curriculum has met both kids where they are and challenged them to go farther. [/quote]
