Feedback sought on proposed social studies resources for Grades 4 and 5
Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) is considering a new elementary school social studies curricular resource for students in Grades 4 and 5.
IMPACT Social Studies from McGraw Hill was recommended by a CCPS resource review committee consisting of staff and parents. The resource correlates with the Maryland Social Studies Frameworks and can be viewed online until 3 p.m., Friday, May 16.
If approved for use by the Board of Education of Charles County, the textbooks will be incorporated into the social studies curriculum for Grades 4 and 5 starting in the 2025-2026 school year.
The textbook can be accessed and reviewed online at the McGraw-Hill: Pre-K-12 Login. To view the book, sign in by typing the Username MDImpact and Password MarylandSS22.
The resource is now available for public review. Feedback will be collected via the Microsoft form linked here.
The Board of Education is reviewing the book and will act on the proposal at its May 19 work session. Community members are encouraged to review the books and provide comments in writing to the Board of Education, P.O. Box 2770, La Plata, MD, 20646; by email to boardmail@ccboe.com; or by filling out the online form linked above.
