NEW ADOPTIONS, GRADES K-6
Mathematics,
Grades K-5
On February
26, 2002, the Board of Education approved the adoption of Harcourt
Math for Mathematics, grades K-5. The Mathematics Department is
in the process of planning staff development inservices to be held

to review the teacher materials before the opening of school in
September 2002, the Mathematics Department requested early delivery
of the materials. Order forms were sent to sites during March and
orders placed during April. We anticipate that materials will arrive
at your site in late May or early June. Pupil editions may be distributed
to students in September. Additional information is provided in
the packet.

receiving the new materials is included in your packet, along with
a list of the instructional materials.

add additional classrooms. To qualify as a new classroom and be
eligible to receive no-charge teacher materials, the following criteria
must be met: 1) the hiring of an additional teacher and 2) an increase
in the number of classrooms over the previous year. A reconfiguration
does not qualify as a new classroom. To request materials,

and send to Anna Cornett. After verification of new classrooms,
materials will be issued to the site.

while a site is on intersession, the order will be filled when the
administrator returns.
