FUSD is seeking to adopt a comprehensive K-5 English Language Arts curriculum. A committee has been established to recommend curriculum resources that promote literacy and equip students to meet or exceed grade-level proficiency standards, preparing them for success in secondary and post-secondary academic pursuits.

The Adoption Committee will evaluate available programs for alignment with the Arizona ELA Standards and the Science of Reading, the quality and coherence of instructional support, the scope and sequence of content, and demonstrated effectiveness in advancing student learning. The review process will also consider the rigor and variety of assessments, the breadth of instructional materials available for differentiation, and the overall accessibility and usability of resources for both teachers and students.

There will be two meetings open to the public for the purposes for ELA curriculum adoption. 

Meetings will be held on:

December 12 at 1:15 PM at MEMS

And on

January 22, 2026 at 3:30 PM at Family Resource Center located at 4000 N. Cummings Street
