1. Rising 9th grade parent night
MS. Scarpelli & Ms. abelson

2. Acc. Algebra 1/Geometry A
Accelerated moves at a faster pace – level of rigor is much higher
Covers 9 units instead of 6 - (covers 3 units of geometry)
Students should be very self motivated, organized, excel at time management, should not be afraid to ask for help, and advocate for themselves.
7 points added onto overall average if student passes for semester.
Student should be coming from TAG 8th grade math or advanced 8th math and have an overall average of 90% or above

3. High school pathway (accelerated)
9th grade
10th grade
11th grade
12th grade
Accelerated Track
Accelerated Algebra / Geometry A Honors
(covers the full year of on-level Algebra 1 plus 1st semester of on-level Geometry)
Accelerated Geometry B/ Algebra 2 Honors
(covers 2nd semester of on-level Geometry and the full year of Algebra 2)
Accelerated Pre –Calculus Honors
AP Statistics, AP Calculus AB OR BC, or apply for a college level math
(all depends on performance in 11th grade)

4. High school pathway (on level)
9th grade
10th grade
11th grade
12th grade
On-level Track
Algebra 1
Geometry
Algebra 2
Precalculus, AMDM, AP Stat, or apply for a college level math through Move On When Ready
(all depends on performance in 11th grade)

5. If student gets off of acc. track
Even though accelerated algebra 1 and on level algebra 1 take the same end of course test, if the student drops accelerated algebra 1, the Student must take a bridge course in the summer to get back on accelerated Track for following year.
For example,
If student drops from accelerated algebra 1 to on – level algebra 1 in 9th grade, the only way to be placed in accelerated geometry for 10th grade would be to take a bridge course in the summer to make up for the units they missed during the 9th grade year.

6. Algebra 1 support
Elective course- serves as an extra help class to better succeed in algebra 1
Students will have a separate final exam
Grades are based mostly on classwork completion/participation – no homework
Open notebook tests and quizzes, 2 days before on level algebra to prepare students with what to expect on their assessment in on level algebra 1
Lots of partner/group work
Students must be prepared to participate, ask questions, and use this time as a resource to help them be successful in algebra 1
