Questions from Ms. Conti

"Is the 6th grade program (per curriculum topics and (time given) for each content area) in our district considered by our administrators and BOE, (a elementary) program or a secondary (Junior High) program? Is it correct that content area time and other programs offered would be planned around that decision?" 

"I am looking for clarification, as at the last BOE meeting science as well as alignment in the elementary buildings were discussed. Is Science and/or Social Studies given their own time block in the day or do they share a time block?"

"If they do share a time block, is it weekly or daily that they alternate or is that building specific? How much time in a day are they given in each building? As I believe (thy) do share in elementary, even in grades 4-6."

  • The WCSD  follows New York State Program Requirements 100.4 which outlines the program requirements for students in grades 5 and 6.  Grade 6 is considered part of the elementary program and does not follow Junior High School requirements of units of study. 

Adequate instructional time is provided in all content areas as well as in band, chorus, and orchestra.

The specific amount of time provided to students in the areas of science and social studies is building specific (based on the number of teachers and resources available) with the general understanding that science and social studies are taught two to three times per week. In addition, science and social studies are integrated into the literacy workshop block when appropriate. The District's science and social studies curriculum are written to ensure the learning standards are met if students receive instruction in science and social studies two to three times per week.
