Textbook evaluations for reviewing new curriculum

Over the last 6 months our secondary Fine Arts, PE, and Professional/Technical teachers have been working hard reviewing new curriculum options for their courses. The review committees are recommending new textbooks for Art II and Art III at College Pathways, Introduction to Business at Traditional Secondary, and Health and Wellness at both College Pathways and Traditional Secondary. The recommended books that are up for consideration will be available for you to look at and evaluate from March 11th – April 4th in the College Pathways office and the North High School office. The same evaluation form that teachers use will be available for your use as well. We look forward to your input.
