(2017-2023 Archive) BPS District English Standards Book
ELA Introduction
The BPSS (ELA) English Language Arts Standards course in Learnbps is Bismarck Public School District's current progress on prioritizing and deconstructing standards to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. The standards are designed to provide guidance so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help students. Plus help students reflect on the knowledge and skills that they need for success.

Above is a BPS-Standards ELA identifier with smaller muted text showing the addition to the identifier that are the components that BPS adds to the State code.
