	CURRICULUM
	San Carlos Park Elementary  is a family friendly school where the progress of children comes first. Our mission is to develop students who are lifelong learners and productive, cooperative citizens. Teachers use a team approach to deliver an integrated curriculum. High academic expectations are achieved by focusing on the teaching of basic skills in an active learning climate. Technology is used daily as a tool for developing the writing process and practicing math and reading skills. Classroom settings provide inclusion models for students receiving ESE and ESOL services using individualized, goal-oriented assessment in a nurturing environment. Preparing students to learn includes implementing a school wide curriculum of responsibility that is firm, fair and consistent.
	McGraw-Hill School Division has a website with information and activities for children and parents that correlate with the new Reading Series.
	Scott Foresman Mathematics has online activities that reinforce the skills taught in the classroom.  If you haven't received a letter with your child's username and password, and returned the permission form, you will not be able to access this site.  Please contact your child's teacher to set up.
	The Florida Department of Education lists the Grade Level Expectations for each of the Sunshine State Standards on their web.
	The Edgate Corporation created Copernicus, an educational gateway to the Internet.  This site has links to educational sites for teachers, students and parents.
	The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is part of Florida's effort to improve the teaching and learning of higher educational standards. The primary purpose of the FCAT is to assess student achievement of the high-order cognitive skills represented in the Sunshine State Standards (SSS) in Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Science.
