In Oregon, districts and schools aim for students to graduate career and college-ready, aligning with the state's academic content standards and exposing them to diverse materials and perspectives. Districts are required to have a planned K-12 instructional program with common curriculum goals and academic standards, following a regular instructional materials adoption schedule for core subject areas. These adoptions must adhere to Oregon statutes and administrative rules. The goal is to adopt a curriculum that is aligned with state standards, encourages student engagement, and supports educators in delivering effective and impactful instruction. The Astoria School District creates an adoption committee for each curriculum adoption that may include teachers, parents/guardians, administrators, and students.

Oregon Instructional Materials Adoption Schedule:

• 2023-2024 - Science for implementation in Fall 2024
• 2024-2025 - Health for implementation in Fall 2025
• 2025-2026 - Social Studies for implementation in Fall 2026
• 2026-2027 - World Languages for implementation in Fall 2027
• 2027-2028 - English Language Arts and Literacy for implementation in Fall 2028
• 2028-2029 - English Language Proficiency for implementation in Fall 2029
• 2029-2030 - Mathematics for implementation in Fall 2030

> Curriculum Adoption Feedback Survey <

Science curriculum was up for review and adoption based on Oregon’s Instructional Materials Adoption Schedule during the 2023-2024 school year.  Due to budget constraints, the Astoria School District postponed the adoption of science materials until the 2024-2025 school year, as allowed by Oregon rules.  The district has been reviewing science curriculum for adoption and implementation in fall of 2025.

The adoption committee is currently considering several curriculum options for science for grades K-5 this spring, and the middle school and high school have been piloting curriculum throughout the school year. The Science adoption committee and district are looking for parent and community feedback on the curriculum options, and have provided a form for feedback. There are also print materials available for review at the District Office from April 14-May 2nd between the hours of 9am and 3pm in the boardroom.
