Bogota District and Curriculum
Bogota School District serves about 1,150 students in three schools. Bogota earned a Bronze medal ranking on the U.S. News & World Report’s 2015 Best High Schools list. The district follows the New Jersey Core Content Standards which provide comprehensive, college preparatory learning objectives for all academic subjects. Knowledge, skills, and conceptual awareness are developed each year along the major topics in each subject. What that means in practice, is that students learn about patterns and relationships during elementary and middle school years in preparation for algebra in high school.
We currently cover the following Bogota-area school district: Bogota School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Bogota District Curriculum
Bogota School District has posted curriculum guides for each grade level and content area that list the skills and content students are expected to learn by the end of the school year. The high school curriculum guides are organized by specific courses. For the high school, there is also a course guide that describes each specific class. The district has also posted both fiction and nonfiction resources—as called for by the Common Core Standards—that specifically help students gain mastery of each literacy skill.
For math, there is a pacing guide that outlines which concepts are concentrated on at which points the year. For example, by fifth grade, students must be able to solve multi-digit multiplication problems and by seventh grade, they have to compute multi-step problems with both positive and negative rational numbers as well as single-variable equations. The math curriculum also focuses on mathematical literacy, communication of mathematical thought, mathematical fluency, procedural skills, and the application of concepts

Keeping Informed: Recent Bogota Educational News
- Bogota High Welcomes Familiar Face As New Principal - Bogota High recently hired a familiar face to replace its retiring principal: Damian Kennedy, who had served as the school’s vice principal for six years. Kennedy, whom the school board selected as principal in a unanimous decision, said Bogota gave him a chance after the small school he previously worked at closed and recalled several milestones he was involved with at the school, including implementing the PowerSchool database that provides real-time data to educators and parents and helping heighten the school’s security system.
- Bogota Youth Action Committees Join Forces to Hold Toy Drive - Bogota Junior-Senior High’s Youth Action Committee (YAC) organized and held a toy drive ahead of the holidays in order to contribute to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The YAC has two divisions—one for students in grades 7 and 8 and the other for grades 9-12—which partnered in this effort. The event was very popular with the students, who love giving back to their community.
- Bogota Observes Week of Respect - Bogota School District joined school districts from across the U.S. in recognizing the Week of Respect, which focused on safety and respect as well as treating each other the right way. The week for Bogota Junior-Senior High included students writing slogans on post-it notes that they taped to the lockers and lessons on anti-bullying and respect. During the week, students wrote poetry, created signs that protested bullying, and signed an anti-bullying pledge. They also viewed a video that stressed the importance of respecting themselves.

Chalk Talk: Reading and Writing in Kindergarten
In kindergarten, students begin reading at a very basic level. Much of the focus is on phonics and phonemic awareness, as students learn to recognize letters and their sounds and decode, or sound out, words. As students learn more words, they can begin to read simple sentences. Books or selections that they may read will contain these simple sentences and often will be full of rhyme, repetition, and words that can be decoded. Kindergarten teachers frequently read books aloud to their students and gauge comprehension through asking meaningful questions before, during, and after they read. Students gain a basic understanding of elements such as characters, setting, and story events.
