Beginning in the school year of 2012, Common Core State Standards were beginning to be implemented. However, the transitional year was phased out and full implementation of the Common Core Standards were integrated in the 2013-2014 school year. The following links are guides for the community to understand the changes that will take place in the student's classes:
