Madras District and Curriculum
The Jefferson County School District follows state and national standards to educate all the students. The curriculum is standards-based with the learning standards stated as objectives that teachers should cover during instruction. The district manages the curricular development process closely and in addition to shaping the K-12 curriculum, the curriculum department oversees the available textbooks and educational materials, district-wide assessments, the implementation of research-based instructional methods, the Title I program, and in-service professional development.
We currently cover the following Madras-area school district: Jefferson County School District 509-J.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Madras District Curriculum
Kindergarten math skills consist of reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers from 1 to 31, measuring objects with nonstandard tools, and reading simple pictographs. In first grade, students use pictures, objects and symbols to add and subtract one digit numbers. Second grade students learn to count by 2’s and 5’s up to 100, to count backwards from 100, the place value of 3 digit numbers, and how to add and subtract with and without regrouping and they expand on their knowledge of measurement and geometry.
During middle school, students hone their ability in numerical operations, relationships and patterns, geometry and measurement, and understanding how to interpret quantitative data. High school students learn Algebra and Geometry in 9th and 10th grades. This still includes the practice and extension of measurement and data analysis skills learned in previous grades. If students wish to pursue a more rigorous course load, trigonometry and pre-calculus are available.

Chalk Talk: Teaching Students How to Take Notes
Learning how to take good notes is an essential part of being a strong student. During middle and high school, most students will need to learn how to take notes using a paper and pen, although some may also have the opportunity to take notes using a computer. There are advantages to both, and students should master both skills. What students can expect in learning to take notes also depends on the subject matter. In the case of science notebooks, elementary students may be able to record brief observations from activities or experiments on their own as they become used to the process. When students reach middle school, they will have to be more independent in their note-taking; middle school teachers will often provide outlines that students fill in that help steer them in the right direction. By high school, they likely will have to take notes completely on their own.
