Please check PowerSchool often to keep informed of you child's progress in each of his/her classes. If you need help logging in to PowerSchool, please contact the school.
We have been researching Math Programs for the last couple of years and have decided to go with Reveal Math by McGraw Hill. At this time we are seeking parent input in the new program before asking for Board approval. If you are interested in borrowing a student copy please email miguel.thompson@centerburgschools.org. I have a few copies of each grade K-5. I will try to answer any questions you may have.
Below is the link to their website with more information.
