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: 

First of all, please bookmark the updated Curley Library Website.  This website is a digital commons that serves as an academic information hub for students and families.  Please take a few minutes to orient yourself to this resource.  In particular, please find the link to the online catalog.  Please note that you’ll need to enter Curley K8 the first time you access the catalog on your device. 

Please read the Welcome Letter from Curley’s very own librarians. Read letter here

Library volunteers needed

The Curley library is looking for volunteers! There are also ongoing opportunities to help with shelving and organizing books. If you are interested in volunteering at the library, email Rachel King at rachel.and.bracken@gmail.com 

All volunteers need to pass a CORI check, which can be found here: https://bit.ly/bpscori

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!  

After-School Opportunities:

  • Tenacity Grades 6-8 – Tenacity’s Ace Academy is an intensive program for students in grades 6-8 that focuses on improving students’ academic, tennis, and fitness skills, while simultaneously nurturing social/emotional development and engaging families.
