Curriculum & Instruction
Lawrence E. Jones Middle School works hard to surpass the academic guidelines established by the California Department of Education by providing a challenging and engaging curriculum for our students.
Lawrence E. Jones Middle School Curriculum
Lawrence E. Jones Middle School
follows California State and Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified District guidelines. The
school district has adopted content standards and Multiple Measures
assessments. These assessments allow teachers, students and parents to
see where individuals are in reaching and/or exceeding District
Standards. The measures will determine whether the student has
successfully learned grade level standards. The results of these
measures will enable our teachers to teach to your child's individual
needs and strengths. Copies of the State content Standards can be
accessed at the links provided below.
