South View Middle recently held our Curriculum Night, Explore the Common Core. The event took place on Thursday, January 16th from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. We transformed our school into South View Town Square. Our 500+ participants (students, parents, CCS Central Services Personnel, and CCS Teachers from John Griffin, Anne Chesnutt, New Century, Nick Jeralds, & Gray's Creek) investigated the curriculum through rigorous real world scenarios.
