The "5 paragraph essay" (intro, 3 points, conclusion) is basically what you outlined but without the opposing points section, which sound valuable to include.

Why isn't your school providing that information? You should be able to see what the school is teaching your kids so you can refer to it to.
Today she said she does not know how to write an essay. I kinda fudged it for the case in front of her (Intro, your points, an opposing point or two, conclusion). I think there is a better structure in teaching writing 'essays' - I just dont know how to teach that.
