Family Curriculum Guides

Family Curriculum Guides (FCGs) provide an overview of what your child is learning in the current nine-weeks grading period. These guides also provide information and access to additional information about steps you can take at home to help your child achieve success by supporting their academic growth. Family Curriculum Guides are created with teachers and aligned to the HPISD Frameworks and curriculum documents.

In addition to Family Curriculum Guides, Year-at-a-Glance are posted for each grade level. These documents provide an overview and an approximate number of days spent in each area. The number of days will vary based on the needs of the students in each class. The number of days accounts for testing, special projects, and other campus activities.

If you have questions or concerns reach out to your child's teacher and they can provide additional details.

Social Studies

In Kindergarten through fourth grade, social studies content is embedded in the English Language Arts block. Embedding Social Studies TEKS into English Language Arts in elementary school means integrating history, geography, civics, and culture into reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities. For example, students might read historical fiction, analyze primary sources, write biographies about historical figures, or discuss maps and timelines during literacy lessons. This approach helps meet standards in both subjects while building critical thinking, vocabulary, and real-world connections, making learning more engaging and meaningful.

Social studies instruction is grounded in the HPISD Social Studies Framework.
