Dear Parents and Guardians:

The relationship between a child and their parents is the most important bond in the world. There isn’t anything that rivals the love between a parent and a child. In the Huron School District, it is our goal to respect that bond and to form a partnership between the home and the school. When schools and parents share the same vision and goal for each child, anything is possible.

The purpose of this handbook is to provide families with information about grade level curriculum and student outcomes in their elementary school. In the Huron School District, we have placed the highest priority on having set grade appropriate standards and creating the framework to reach those standards. The curriculum is simply a road map to a better education. Like all road maps, it is only as good as the person reading it.

For parents, an important component of this guide is the “You can help by…” section. I strongly suggest that parents read this section and ask their son or daughter’s teacher about additional activities that can be done at home to reinforce the lessons being taught in class.

Like you, it is our goal to have every child achieve academically to their fullest potential; and have no child left behind. This is only possible when parents and the schools work together to create a strong academic foundation that will serve in the years to come as a strong base for the future success of all students.

Best wishes and have a great school year.

Sincerely,

Thomas L. Hosler
Superintendent
