The first shipment of our new Illustrative Math books is here!

Every elementary school in our District will begin using this new math curriculum this fall. Teachers who piloted the learning last year saw great results, with students becoming more engaged, thinking more deeply, and strengthening their problem-solving skills.

Be sure to ask your child about it when the school year gets underway! ✏️
