Curriculum Night- Thank you for coming to Curriculum Night. We really are excited about all of the wonderful programs that Pre-K in Fulton County has to offer. Here are some links providing information for all parents:
The content standards we use in Pre-K are called the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). This link will show you all of the learning domains and standards we teach and assess in Pre-K.

We use a program called Second Step to teach social skills. This link provides an overview of the topics addressed as well as the benefits of teaching these skills to students.
