Our students are in school for 180 days; for 2015-2016 class sizes in grades TK, K and 1 have been reduced to 25 students per class, grades 2 and 3 have been reduced to 27 students per class. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classes are located strategically across the district and are available for children whose birthdays fall between September 2 and December 2.  All our schools emphasize a special focus that enriches each of our communities and make our Saugus District the best school choice in our community.
Our Curriculum and Instruction Team leads our work on District Curriculum Goals that include Direct Instruction practices, Gifted and Talented (GATE) for our gifted and talented students, Systematic English Language Development (SELD) for our English Learners, Response to Intervention Programs (RtI) to meet the needs of ALL learners and integration of the state California Common Core State Standards.  More information on Common Core can be found on the California Department of Education website: www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc/index.asp.

We encourage you to be involved in your child’s educational experience.  Read school newsletters, attend school conferences and events, join the parent association, volunteer in the classroom, and most importantly, dialog with your child about his/her everyday educational journey.  Working as partners, we can encourage one another, increase our student successes and celebrate even greater accomplishments.
