Last summer, 4 teachers from the two middle schools (Hackett - Mr. Klugman and Mr. Pasos, and Livingston - Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Jokobia) redesigned the 7 and 8th grades curriculum to meet NYS standards and to align with our new text series (Prentice Hall - Explorers). These new texts offer a great deal more content for the students to make connections with the curriculum.
This follows the work done the previous summer by Mr. Klugman, Mr. Pasos, Mr. Brusoe (then of PLMA) and Mrs. Jokobia.
