Plainview District and Curriculum
Plainview’s students attend public school in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District. The primary mission of the district is to provide an environment that is academically challenging and engaging. Students in kindergarten through the twelfth grade take part in educational activities that focus on their academic, social, and emotional development. Children acquire the necessary skills to be successful and contributing members of society, while also learning about the world in which they live and gaining an appreciation for those unlike themselves. In a district of over 5,000 students, children acquire these skills and personal qualities in classrooms that have small student-to-teacher ratios, and in schools that offer plenty of room to learn and explore.
We currently cover the following Plainview-area school district: Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Plainview District Curriculum
The elementary science curriculum helps students build the knowledge and skills they need to engage in scientific studies. Students acquire the ability to develop questions and hypotheses, and participate in experiments to test those hypotheses. Learners develop basic skills, such as the ability to observe, record, analyze, and report data. Students learn how to gather information about a research question, including from the Internet and print materials, in order to devise informed conclusions about possible answers. Students also work with models to get a clearer picture of their research question.
Plainview’s high school students participate in an English language arts curriculum that includes the study of complex literary and informational texts. Students develop the ability to read for textual details that inform readers of the author’s intent. Students also learn how to use the information they’ve gathered to participate in informed discussions about their readings. Using the context of the readings, students learn the meanings of unfamiliar words and phrases as well. The skills necessary to summarize literary and informational texts are also gained.

Chalk Talk: Writing an Impactful College Essay
The college essay is an extremely important component of the application materials. It is an opportunity for applicants to convey their personality and explain why their experiences and achievements make them an excellent candidate for admission. However, the process of writing the essay can be overwhelming for many kids. To ensure their essay is of the highest quality, students need to keep it short. This isn’t to say they should gloss over details, rather, they should be concise in addressing all aspects of the essay prompt. It is also important for students to write in a manner that is easy to read and features a coherent flow from one idea to the next. Admissions officers will not view kindly an essay that is poorly written. College applicants should also strive to bring individuality to their essay. In a sea of essays, admissions officers are looking for something that is impactful and stands out. Writing from one’s unique perspective using vivid language and details can do just that.
