The State Department of Education recommends
each school implement the Core Curriculum. It is
composed of academic content standards and
benchmarks in all areas. Grade level guides are
available to parent/guardian(s) as a means of
informing them of those subject areas their
child will be learning during the year. The
development of curriculum and educational
programs in our school is an ongoing process
best served through the cooperative efforts of
all professional staff.
Teachers, administrators and the Board of
Education continually work together to update
existing curriculum to develop the best possible
education plans for our school. The State of
Michigan Core Curriculum is available at
www.michigan.gov/mde. The building
curriculum is in alignment with the district
plan that allows each building to make
individual modifications to meet students'
needs.
The Houghton Elementary curriculum is aligned
with Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations
and also meets AdvancED/North Central
Association requirements.
Art, Computer, Library, Music, and Physical
Education classes enhance the core academic
subjects.
