  MESSAGE FROM DR. COAKLEY

Dear Parents and Caregivers,


This fall, we are excited to launch Eureka Math² across K–5. Built on the Story of Units, the program teaches math as a connected journey rather than isolated skills. Each unit builds upon the last, helping students see how math fits together and apply it in meaningful ways.

The K-5 approach presents math as a continuous story, allowing students to connect new concepts to what they’ve already learned. By seeing how each idea fits into the bigger picture, students gain a deeper understanding and practical problem-solving skills. The sequence of concepts and skills ensures that by the end of elementary school, students have a strong foundation to enter middle school confident in math reasoning and problem-solving.


  • Kindergarten: Build number sense through counting, shapes, and early addition/subtraction.

  • Grade 1: Develop fluency with addition/subtraction within 20 and build understanding of place value (tens and ones).

  • Grade 2: Extend place value to 1,000, apply addition/subtraction to real-life problems, and explore early multiplication.

  • Grade 3: Major shift into multiplication/division, fractions, area, and multi-digit problem solving.

  • Grade 4: Deepen multiplication/division, add/subtract fractions with like denominators, and work with decimals, angles, and measurement.

  • Grade 5: Solidify fluency with all operations, multiply/divide fractions, explore volume, and use the coordinate plane.

If you are interested in learning more click this Eureka Math² Family Engagement link to explore.

Additionally, we will continue to use ST Math, the digital program that teachers concepts visually, moving language barrier and making math accessible to all learners in grades K-5. Through a problem solving approach, students work through puzzles to strengthen their conceptual understanding while building their number sense, flexibility, and pattern recognition with Jiji the Penquin by their side.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend and have an AWESOME week ahead! 

As always, please reach out if you have any questions. 

Dr. Mary Coakley, Principal
