Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Hays District Curriculum
Educators use curriculum to develop the creativity, curiosity, and problem solving skills among students. The curricular framework for each subject lays out a series of learning objectives that teachers use to guide their lesson planning. By ensuring that all objectives are covered in an instructional manner most effective for the students in the classroom, all students should reach the goals established for learning.
Once students in high school, they continue with their core academic work at a much greater level of complexity. With full year courses in Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry or Physics, students have ample time to explore and use the concepts which are central to each subject. There are also many career-oriented courses which help students attain valuable pre-professional skills. At this level also, the courses are aimed at preparing students for college and career, and additional benchmarks to ensure preparedness for post-secondary life are also established for all students to meet.

Chalk Talk: Computer Safety for Your Child
Technology is all around us, ever evolving, so it is important to “stay on top” of all of the changes and monitor your child’s use to ensure his safety. Used with caution, there are many valuable learning resources available for children from reading and spelling web games to sites that assist with presentation creation and research for older children. Unfortunately, there are many hazards on the Internet as well, so it is very important that you spend time with your child while s/he is using the computer, especially when it comes to social media or email correspondence. If your child has a social media account, know the password and monitor what is being expressed through updates or chats. Ask your child questions about his/her online friends, and make sure that a profile is private and limited to people s/he knows. It is also important to maintain the computer in a central location in the home where you can continually see the websites and communication your child accesses to ensure its appropriateness. By being vigilant, your child will benefit from technology and most importantly, stay safe.
