What this document actually says
This presentation updates the Reed Union School District Board on curriculum changes across three subject areas. For English Language Arts, elementary schools will pilot Amplify CKLA in January 2027, while Del Mar Middle School selected Del Mar Curriculum after evaluation. Reed Elementary will implement Sonday System E for reading foundations. In Health, Bel Aire adopted Character Strong for social-emotional learning, and the district is transitioning sexual health education from external vendors to internal staff delivery. For Math, the district completed Year 1 of Amplify Desmos Math implementation across all 30 K-5 classrooms serving 634 students, with Year 2 focusing on deeper instructional expertise and alignment with California's new math framework.
What this means for your family
Your child will experience new curriculum in reading, health, and math over the next two years. Elementary students will continue using Amplify Desmos Math with enhanced teacher training. A new reading curriculum (Amplify CKLA) will be piloted starting January 2027. Social-emotional learning and health education will be taught by familiar school staff rather than outside presenters, spreading lessons throughout the year instead of compressed into one week.
