March 14 is Pi Day, a celebration of the mathematical constant 3.14 and the role math plays in the world around us. Classrooms across #MySDIRC are always finding ways to make math engaging, meaningful, and connected to real life.
However you choose to celebrate today, we hope it adds up to a great day.
Happy Pi Day from #MySDIRC.

With programs available for students from Voluntary Pre-K through Grade 12, this year’s summer offerings reflect the District’s continued commitment to high standards, literacy growth, graduation readiness, and innovative learning experiences.
