Content Standards
  Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level.
Literacy Plan
  The PSD, the Board of Trustees, and each school site will adopt and support the on-going work of the District Literacy Team (DLT) in implementing and adhering to District Literacy Plan (DLP). The DLP addresses the vision, direction, and coordination of establishing and maintaining a comprehensive, coherent structure for language arts teaching and learning.
Math Plan
  In addition to having been taught mathematics based on the district standards in K-7, every student who graduates from eighth grade in Pacifica School District will have been given the opportunity to learn algebra. 
English Language Development Plan
  It is the belief of the Pacifica School District that English learner students deserve the opportunity to acquire linguistic competencies that native English speakers already possess when they enter school and to continue to develop these competencies throughout their life. 
Arts Plan
  The Pacifica School District (PSD) Arts Plan (DAP) addresses teaching and learning in the arts – specifically in dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts. The plan is a living document organized into seven elements that comprise a comprehensive and balanced arts program.
