Differentiated Instruction To To maximize student success and to ensure that gaps in learning do not occur, instruction is differentiated for each child. Students are continually assessed to ensure proper placement. Students who demonstrate an advanced level of concept mastery in mathematics and/or English Language Arts may be moved to an accelerated course during their scheduled subject time. We will be offering two advanced reading sections as well as two advanced math sections. A child that is placed in an accelerated course one year, does not mean he/she will be placed in an accelerated course the following year.

Grading 2 weekly grades in core subject areas will be given. Graded work will come home each week Progress reports and report cards will be available through the parent portal on Infinite Campus If your child is not progressing as expected, you will be contacted.

Tax Credit Donations $400 for married couples $200 for individual tax payers Tax credit donations will be paid through the Infinite Campus portal. More information is found on the Fulton website.
