Elementary School Parents,

We are excited to announce the introduction of a new instructional program for our second-grade students called Code to the Future. This innovative program is designed to immerse students in the world of computer coding, providing them with essential skills that directly correlate with our math curriculum. What is Code to the Future? Code to the Future is a comprehensive computer science immersion program that engages students in learning how to write computer code through fun and interactive methods. The curriculum includes hands-on activities such as coding games, robotics, and creative projects that not only enhance coding skills but also reinforce critical math concepts.

Why is This Important? In today’s digital age, coding is becoming an essential skill, much like reading and math. By integrating coding into our second-grade curriculum, we aim to: Enhance Problem-Solving Skills: Coding teaches students to think critically and solve problems logically, which aligns with our math objectives. Encourage Creativity: Students will learn to create their own projects, fostering creativity and innovation. Prepare for the Future: As technology continues to evolve, understanding coding will be invaluable for students’ future academic and career opportunities.

What Can Parents Expect? Engaging Curriculum: Students will participate in exciting activities that make learning coding enjoyable. Collaboration with Teachers: Our teachers will receive training and ongoing support to effectively implement this program in their classrooms. Opportunities for Involvement: We will keep parents informed and engaged with updates on student progress and opportunities to participate in showcases of student work. We believe that Code to the Future will not only enrich our students’ educational experience but also equip them with skills that are crucial for their success in a technology-driven world. We look forward to your support as we embark on this exciting journey!
