The selection of the Common Core (Pearson Envision) curriculum for Stoneybrooke students came as a surprise to many parents. There is increasing concern about the curriculum content, and the impact it is having on our children.

Numerous parents have spoken to administrators communicating their desire for a town hall meeting with the purpose of educating parents and answering the many questions regarding our math curriculum. Stoneybrooke administrators have indicated a willingness to hold a meeting if a large contingent of parents express their desire for such a meeting.

Thus, we have developed this online petition to demonstrate the significant level of interest among parents from all grade levels so that this discussion can take place in an open forum.

Please take a moment to sign this petition and forward this on to any other parents you feel might be interested in such a meeting.
