The Articulation Process Phase I - Meet with Elementary Leadership Staff and teachers Phase II -Teachers fill out Transfer Data Cards and HMS Checklist Phase III - HMS staff meets with Elementary parents Phase IV – Elementary students and teachers visit HMS classrooms Phase V - HMS articulation team reviews various factors to determine placement Phase VI – Matrix and Master Schedule Development to meet the A-G requirements

Matrix and Master Schedule Development Data determines # of sections in each grade level Data determines # of courses assigned to our teachers
