District launches band, math, and reading programs

What happened

New 2026–27 programs add fifth-grade band, middle-school math support, and a grades 2–5 reading challenge.

Why it matters to families

The initiatives change instruction for broad groups of elementary and middle-school students, including small-group math help and year-round music classes.

The evidence

The district says every fifth grader will have access to a loaned instrument, professional tutors will support middle-school math classes, and every student in grades 2–5 will receive personalized reading goals.
