Parents can gain key facts at Curriculum Night

MADISON – After classes have resumed for a few days (or weeks), Madison schools will host Curriculum Night to share valuable facts with parents for the 2024-2025 school year.

Curriculum Night in Madison City Schools is intended for parents only, and the school’s administrators and faculty invite all parents to attend. Generally, each school allots one hour for the session for each grade.

Teachers will share important curriculum details, classroom and grade-level procedures, expectations, homework policies, discipline practices, tentative field trips and other subjects.

If a parent cannot attend, slides will be available after each meeting, according to Heritage Elementary School’s website.

For example, a Curriculum Night for first grade can cover language arts/reading with “Wonders” by McGraw-Hill that include reading comprehension, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, oral language and writing.
