Parent Guides by Grade Level
These grade-level brochures support increasing parent knowledge about the new standards.
National PTA® created the guides for grades K-8 and two for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics).
The Guide includes:
- Key items that children should be learning in English language arts and mathematics in each grade, once the standards are fully implemented.
- Activities that parents can do at home to support their child's learning.
- Methods for helping parents build stronger relationships with their child's teacher.
- Tips for planning for college and career (high school only).
The Council of Great City Schools has also created some parent resources that we think our parents will find useful. Both resources are found below in both English and Spanish.
Parents can access the Common Core State Standards in their entirety on the CCSS website.
