Cedar Grove Friday Flash
May 18, 2018
Dear Cedar Grove Families,
Congratulations to all the students who participated in our school talent show last week. All of the performers did a wonderful job and should be proud of the time and effort devoted to making this such a special evening.
Yesterday our 4th and 5th grade students in chorus did a fabulous job performing for our 1st and 2nd grade students. Another concert for students in kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be held next Tuesday, May 22nd in the school gym. There will also be a spring Instrumental music and choral concert that evening at Clarksburg High School. We hope you will be able to come!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Derby and Mrs. German

MCPS Seeks Feedback on New Elementary Curriculum
MCPS is seeking feedback from parents/guardians on the new elementary curriculum process and plans. The survey asks parents/guardians for their familiarity with school curriculum and asks them to rate the effectiveness of Curriculum 2.0.
It also seeks feedback on the most important aspects of a new curriculum; the benefits of an externally purchased curriculum; any concerns the district should consider when reviewing curriculum products; and the most important factors for a successful rollout of a new curriculum.
Montgomery County Board of Education Policy IFA, Curriculum, calls for reviews of curriculum content every five years.
As MCPS transitions away from Curriculum 2.0 toward an externally purchased curriculum, stakeholder feedback will be an important consideration. Parents/guardians can offer their feedback until June 11 here.
The transition to a new elementary curriculum will take place over multiple years, beginning with a group of schools and selected courses in 2018–2019. For more information, visit www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/curriculum-review.aspx.
Drive for Supplies
The Cedar Grove S.G.A., along with other Montgomery County Public schools and in collaboration with Learn Shop, Inc., an organization that collects and distributes new and reusable school supplies, is once again asking for your support with Drive for Supplies the week of June 11th through June 15th. Drive For Supplies is an end-of-the-school-year locker, backpack and desk clean-out project. The collected supplies are donated to international and local nonprofit groups, including MCPS.
Students will donate used but usable school items by placing in the marked boxes found in the hallways during the Drive. The Drive does not accept clothing at this time. By donating your used, but usable school supplies, you are helping to reduce our solid waste that ends up in landfills while helping students that live in and around Montgomery County.
Thank you for your support of this year’s Drive For Supplies.
Your Cedar Grove S.G.A
