Pulling on all the oars together...
The math department at DSPMS is working on the transition from Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) to Florida's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) curriculum.  Beginning with the 2014-15 school year all grades will be taking the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) in place of the FCAT.  The CCSS add more rigor and a greater reliance on critical thinking skills to solve a wide variety of real-world word problems.   Our students and teachers are working very hard to make this transition as smooth as possible for all stakeholders including parents.  Additional resources and support materials are available on each teacher's page to assist with this transition.
