« "Friends of Rachel" Comes to Craig Lower School | Main | Red Ribbon Week »
Back-To-School Night
Parents turned out in droves to learn what was going on in their children's classrooms.
The evening began with a presentation by Headmaster, David Blanchard, on how Craig's curriculum matches up with the public school. He began with a brief update on plans to relocate the high school because there is no room in the Lincoln Park facility to accommodate the growing program. David then went on to describe how Craig matches the core curriculum standards set by the state of New Jersey. He gave specific examples of course materials and reading lists and explained how special strategies enrich the curriculum without sacrificing fundamental content.
With schedules in hand and maps to guide them, the parents then followed an abbreviated version of their child's day for the remainder of the evening. Surprisingly, no parent got lost although a few might have been a tad tardy! Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable and eye-opening experience to see the Craig School teachers in action!
