Park Ridge District and Curriculum
New Jersey is one of 44 states to join the Common Core State Standards initiative. Park Ridge Public Schools uses the Common Core Standards for Mathematics and Language Arts. The intent is to provide transparency across the state and to ensure each child has the skills they need to succeed in the 21st Century. All students in K-6 receive a standards-based report card that demonstrates how their learning aligns with these two systems. The district’s mission is to nurture all students to become life-long learners and ethical, independent global citizens.
We currently cover the following Park Ridge-area school district: Park Ridge Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Park Ridge District Curriculum
Park Ridge Public Schools embraces the 21st Century philosophy of education. This means staff and students are committed to the deeper application of subject-area knowledge and the integration of these knowledge and skills with global perspectives, cross-cultural themes, and technological innovations. Students at Park Ridge Public Schools are problem-solvers who can collaborate in a variety of settings and act as ethical citizens of the global economy.
The schools support students using the Gradual Release of Responsibility technique; differentiating instruction and texts to support students’ diverse needs in literacy; and having students write in various forms (i.e.: narratives, explanations, and arguments). This model is based around a balanced literacy approach, which provides the students with a balance of literacy skills, strategies, materials, and social-emotional development in order for them to be able to think critically and independently, set goals for themselves, and solve problems on their own.

Chalk Talk: The Middle School Transition
Leaving the elementary school “nest” can be just as hard on parents as it is on students. But it doesn’t have to be. There are some ways to make this transition smoother. For starters, teach them calendar control. How will they schedule their homework? What extracurricular activities will the join? How much will they have time to do on the weekends? How will they handle larger projects? Teaching your child to plan ahead and make smaller goals will help them feel more in control. Next, teach them the power of communication. In middle school, the number of teachers your child has is suddenly multiplied. This can feel very overwhelming, and often students will shut down when they need to speak up. Teach your child to be persistent and ask the right questions. If you sense your child is struggling, encourage them to talk to their teacher before you step in. This will build their self-confidence and teach them to be advocates of their own learning.
