Review proposed new teaching and learning materials
Battle Ground Public Schools is considering new science curriculum for middle school students in grades 6-8, as well as new social studies curricula and a horticulture textbook at the high school level.
Over the past year, committees of parents, guardians, teachers and community members evaluated the new materials. You can now review the materials that were recommended and provide your input.
After reviewing the materials in person or online, take a brief survey to provide your input by Friday, April 5, at noon. This input will be considered as the proposed curricula are presented to the school board. A first reading of the proposed curricula is scheduled for the April 8 board meeting. If approved, the new curricula would be used starting in the 2024-25 school year.
