Curriculum Information
P-CCS is pleased to announce that the K-8 curriculum is now available to view online. It is our goal to continually add additional courses and levels as they are available. We want to provide parents with an open resource that illustrates the excellent work that is happening within our classrooms. Within Atlas Rubicon, parents will be able to see a unit calendar and within each unit the standards, Big Ideas, and Essential Questions.

Family Curriculum Handbooks
The purpose of the Curriculum Handbooks is to provide families with an overview of the grade-level curriculum. Additionally, families often ask how they can help their child, therefore, we have included ideas to support your child within each content area.
