Forest Acres District and Curriculum

The School District of Pickens County seeks to provide quality education in order to prepare students for success beyond the classroom. To do this, the schools promote high achievement, personal responsibility, and character development. The district has adopted the Common Core State Standards in math and English language arts to prepare their students for college, career, and citizen opportunities.

We currently cover the following Forest Acres-area school district: School District of Pickens County.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Forest Acres District Curriculum

English Language Arts classes allow students the opportunities to read a variety of texts including both non-fiction and literature. They practice synthesizing what they read and obtain writing skills that can be used in countless situations. They also learn a number of styles of writing and ways to organize their thoughts in longer, analytic essays. The foundational skills they learn in language arts classes translate to other content areas as well as preparing them for college classes and career pursuits.

Math classes using the Common Core Standards prepare students to understand the concepts with great depth. The classes have deeper focus as opposed to the broad focus of the past. Rather than studying ten or more concepts in a given year and revisiting them again and again, students practice only five or six standards. They review them until mastery which promotes long term retention, and therefore students require less re-teaching in the future.

Chalk Talk: Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent teacher conferences can be nerve-wracking for many families. Parents who enter them prepared are sure to have a better experience. Before conferences, talk to your child about how they think school is going. Ask them about their subjects, homework, friends, behavior, and more. Be sure to find out if they have any concerns, so that you can address them with your child’s teacher. Listen to the teacher, and don’t get defensive if he or she has something negative to say about your child. If the teacher didn’t have your child’s best interest in mind, they wouldn’t share these things with you. Work towards a plan together, and be sure to follow through with your part. Finally, if anything comes up after conferences, be sure to get in touch with the teacher. They will certainly want to address the needs of your child.
