School-Based Inclusion Team: 

The School-Based Inclusion Planning Team is a team of educators and parents who meet weekly to collaborate and plan for the implementation of inclusion at Curley K-8.  Together, we are following a district-wide process to make recommendations on the implementation of inclusion across our school.  Below is the process the team will be following. 

For more information on what the team is doing, you can check out the weekly updates. Please view the following document: Curley K-8 SBIPT Communication to Staff/Families 

Curley Library: 

Hello from the Curley Library!

Curley Students (and teachers) are busy here in the Curley Library!  We are celebrating Women’s History Month!  Students are exploring the library catalog with the brand new library computer (thanks donorschoose!). Students will soon be reading about lego and Star Wars characters in the new “Pop Culture Beginning Reader Collection.”  Students are coming on their own and with their classes, learning library skills, and checking our great books!  Please click here for a more detailed update on happenings from the Curley library. 

Curley Website Update: 

The Website Committee is underway with their work. The committee will revise content and reformat the dropdown menu in the coming weeks. We wanted to give everyone a heads-up if you noticed things looked different. We hope to create a staging site (a separate domain that functions as a website but has a different URL) to avoid altering the current website as we tinker, but we haven’t yet figured out if this is possible.  We appreciate your patience as we begin our work!
