ScootPad: Web-Based, Common Core, Personalized LearningScootPad is a free web-based program that provides children with personalized learning in math, reading, spelling, and much more. It is aligned with the new Common Core State Standards. Children are assessed on their progress, and parents can use the parent portal to monitor their children's academic growth. Click below to go to the ScootPad parent page. Triage DrillOn March 22, Curtner held its annual triage drill. The drill began with an earthquake drill, in which students practiced the "duck and cover" procedure in their classrooms. Students then evacuated out the playground to wait in their lines while the Curtner Safety Team practiced triage procedures. Three teams of three teachers, as well as our P.E. coach and one parent volunteer, were deployed to various locations on campus to search for students who volunteered to stay back in classrooms and pretend to be "missing" and "injured". The triage teams practiced assessing the level of injury and the action required for each student. Teachers, volunteers, and students all did an excellent job helping our school practice this very important emergency procedure.

Common Core State StandardsOver the next two years, Curtner, as well as all schools in the Milpitas Unified School District, will be transitioning from the California State Standards, to the Common Core State Standards. These standards have established rigorous expectations for student learning at all grade levels. Click here to learn more about this transition. Art BlogThe Curtner Art Program displays student art work throughout the year on the Curtner Art Blog. Please visit the blog often and enjoy our students' wonderful artwork! Parking Lot SafetyDesignated Place to Cross To ensure the safety of all children and adults, please do not cross the Curtner parking lot at any point other than the cross walk by the school office, before and after school. Cars are continuously pulling through our parking lot, and crossing while cars are moving creates an unsafe situation.
Before School Drop Off Please escort your child to the front of the school. 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM: Students go to courtyard at the front of the school and wait to be dismissed to their lines. 8:30 AM to 8:45 AM: Students go through the front of the school and then directly to their lines on the blacktop. 8:45 AM and later: Students check in at the office for a late pass.
Ensuring a Safe Drop Off Please do not leave your vehicle to assist your child during drop off. Student valets are out front each morning to assist children during drop off. Children must exit the vehicle on the school side of the car, not the street side. Also, vehicles must pull all the way up in the drop off zone before a child can exit the vehicle.
Thank you for working together to ensure a safe campus for our students! |
