Smithtown District and Curriculum
The Smithtown Central Public Schools district is dedicated to providing the academic skills and knowledge needed to help all students reach their highest potential. English/Language Arts and Math curriculum used throughout the district is aligned to the New York State P-12 Learning Standards. Consistent standards throughout the state and across the country will help ensure that students graduate from high school college and career ready. A single set of clear, concise educational standards for students in Pre-K through Grade 12 helps students, parents and educators have a clear understanding of the expectations in reading, writing, speaking, listening, language and math in school.
We currently cover the following Smithtown-area school district: Smithtown Central School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Smithtown District Curriculum
The revised standards incorporate both content and skill. In English/Language Arts, students are required to read a variety of classic and contemporary literature as well as informational texts on a variety of subjects. Students are expected to build knowledge, gain insight, explore possibilities and broaden their views. The standards for writing, listening, speaking and language help prepare students for real life experiences in college or for a 21st Century career.
The Kindergarten to 5th grade math standards provides students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) fractions and decimals. These standards emphasize both content and process and promote conceptual understanding to make sure students are absorbing the information they need to succeed in higher grades. Having built a strong foundation, students will be well prepared for algebra in middle school and to apply mathematical thinking into real world applications in high school.
