St. Francis Area Schools is hosting a Community Curriculum Viewing at the District Office in the areas of Fine Arts and English Language Arts. Every nine years, new curriculum is purchased that has been researched and selected by district teachers in collaboration with our Curriculum and Instruction Department.
