​ACADEMICS

“Common standards ensure that every child across the country is getting the best possible education no matter where a child lives or what their background is. The common standards will provide an accessible roadmap got schools, teachers, parents and students with clear and realistic goals.”

 

Governor Roy Romer, Senior Advisor, The College Board

Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS)
 

With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards in October 2010, they became the Nevada Academic Content Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics. With this action, the Nevada State Board of Education committed to ensuring that all students are ready for college and careers.

To the left, you will find a link to a letter from the Superintendent of Public Instruction about the Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS). 

To the left, you will find a link that will bring you to the Nevada Department Education's website with more information about the standards.  

Nevada Ready! is an online clearinghouse of information about Nevada’s education standards and provides access to statewide communications and links to other resources.

PARENT ROADMAPS
(Documents below and to the right)
 
The Council of the Great City Schools' parent roadmaps in mathematics provide guidance to parents about what their children will be learning and how they can support that learning in grades K-8. These parent roadmaps for each grade level also provide three-year snapshots showing how selected standards progress from year to year so that students will be college and career ready upon their graduation from high school.
