Help Us Choose Secondary Instructional Materials!
During the 2024-25 school year, several secondary district-wide curriculum-adoption committees reviewed and piloted curricula for:
- High School AP Government
- High School Chemistry
- High School Living Earth
To make an informed decision regarding which instructional materials to recommend to the SLZUSD Board of Education for adoption, we’d like to invite families, staff not already on the committees, and community members to review the materials and share their feedback.
Timeline
Please provide all feedback by Friday, May 16, 2025
How to Review
- Check the table for the course you are interested in reviewing. Each table has links, login credentials, and directions for how to access the instructional materials digitally.
- If you prefer to examine the instructional materials in PRINT, hard copies of the materials are on public display at the district office in the High School Enrollment Center. Drop in between 8:30am and 4:00pm to review and evaluate the materials. No appointment necessary.
- After reviewing the materials in person or digitally, please complete the appropriate feedback form linked in the table or complete a printed version (available at the High School Enrollment Office).
Questions?
If you have difficulty accessing or navigating the materials, contact Michelle Stone, TSA for Secondary Curriculum & Instruction, and the adoption facilitator.
Thank you for your time!
